When Aggies Head coach Jimbo Fisher imagines what his offense could look like under new offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino, speed, speed, and more speed at the wide receiver position comes to mind before anything else. In the past three recruiting cycles, Texas A&M has landed their 2023 starting wide receiver unit including 2022 5-Star Evan Stewart, 4-Star Moose Muhammad III, and of course, Ainias Smith, who will be returning for his final senior season.
Looking towards the future, the 2024 recruiting cycle offers some very intriguing options at the position, especially 3-Star wide receiver Ernest Campbell out of Refugio, Texas, one of the fastest athletes in the class while standing at only 5-8 and 150 lbs. Ranked as the 70th wide receiver and 82nd player in Texas, Campbell is lightning in a bottle, pure and simple, which is why the Aggies finally offered him on Thursday, March 16th. As a track athlete, Campbell won the Texas Class 2A 100M state title with a time of 10.32 seconds, while also leading Refugio to win the 4×100 and 4×200 titles in May of 2022.
Receiving over 20 Division 1 offers so far, Campbell is an ascending recruit, fitting the mold of what Jimbo Fisher looks for in a slot wide receiver in the SEC, resembling former Aggies wide receiver Yulkeith Brown, who recently transferred to Tulane. With a potential visit to College Station in the coming months, Hopefully, communications increase between the Aggies and Campbell in the Spring/Summer.
