Sicklerville (N.J.) Timber Creek defensive end Jihaad Campbell has heard from a slew of schools since this past Tuesday, Sept. 1, the date when NCAA rules allowed college coaches to begin initiating contact with class of 2022 prospects going into their junior year of high school.
“I talked to Clemson, Pitt, Rutgers, Michigan State, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Tennessee, South Carolina, Michigan, West Virginia, Oregon, Texas, Washington, Virginia, Rutgers, Texas A&M and a couple more,” Campbell told The Clemson Insider.
For Clemson, it was defensive ends coach Lemanski Hall and defensive coordinator Brent Venables who reached out to Campbell, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound recruit who received an offer from the Tigers in early August.
