Texas won a huge Red River recruiting battle on Wednesday as they landed five-star offensive lineman Devon Campbell over rival Oklahoma.
The Arlington Bowie product was one of the top uncommitted prospects heading into national signing day on Feb. 2.
Campbell is rated the No. 3 prospect in the state of Texas and the No. 1 interior offensive lineman in the country, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.
He becomes the highest-rated commit in Texas’ 2022 recruiting class.

Campbell joins offensive lineman Kelvin Banks as the sole five-star prospects in the class. If they both hold true to their commitment, it will be the first time in program history for Texas to sign two five-star offensive linemen in the same cycle.
Recruiting analyst Gabe Brooks from 247Sports had promising things to say about Campbell in his scouting report:
Average height with good length and a stout build that is virtually college-ready. Good athlete on the field relative to size; shows in pulling ability and second-level blocking. Heavy-handed and flashes devastating punch power at times in those second-level opportunities. Impressive open-field athleticism when lead-blocking beyond the line of scrimmage. Terrorizes second-level defenders and looks for extra work.
With the addition of Campbell, Texas signed one of the best offensive line classes in program history. A fantastic job by Kyle Flood.
