Tim Campbell, a star pass-rusher who was an All-Southwest Conference defensive lineman for the Texas Longhorns from 1975-79, died on Sunday of cancer in his hometown of Tyler, Texas. He was 68.
Tim and his twin brother Steve arrived at Texas a year after their famous older brother, Earl. All three played together for John Tyler High School, winning a state championship on a 15-0 team.
Those three of 11 kids raised by Ann Campbell were particularly close because they went off to Austin together, and were recruited by the same assistant coach, Ken Dabbs. They all made an impact for Darrell Royal's Longhorns, albeit in the mythical shadow of Earl, with Tim at 5-foot-11, 193-pounds playing as an edge rusher.
