  07/29/22 - ILB Jack CampbellrJr/2023, Iowa

  Jack Campbell is one of the most unique middle linebackers in Iowa history. He's the polar opposite of program greats at that position like Larry Station or Josey Jewell. Those were undersized-yet-tenacious tacklers. Campbell, meanwhile, is a like a thoroughbred racehorse who packs a thumping wallop. His size and speed at Iowa would compare well to what that Chicago Bears once had in Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher. Urlacher's pro measurements were 6-4, 258. Campbell's pushing 250 on his 6-5 frame. Asked if he has lost any speed while bulking up, Campbell chuckled. "Gosh, no," he said. Early in Campbell's Iowa career, it was debated whether he should be a linebacker or defensive end.

Ferentz initially leaned toward defensive end; Wallace and defensive coordinator Phil Parker advocated for linebacker because of how he runs. Put Campbell on the edge, other teams can run away from him. Put Campbell in the middle of Iowa's defense, opponents can't avoid him. "He could get to 270 pounds. But he's like a defensive lineman playing on the second level," Wallace said. "He has a unique ability to move in space for a guy that size. He's not the guy that Northwestern had a couple years ago (Paddy Fisher). They're comparable size-wise, but Jack's athleticism is through the roof when it comes to guys his size." - Iowa City Press-Citizen
