Good Luck Tommie Campbell

Filed under: Football,Players — Chas @ 10:35 pm

We know Campbell’s work ethic has been questioned. We know he has been suspended from the team and no one expected him back. Campbell has now made it known that he is transferring.

The former Aliquippa High School star, who was a PIAA Class AA champion in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, hasn’t decided on a new destination but is considering Eastern Michigan.

After converting to weak-side linebacker as a sophomore last fall, Campbell finished fifth in tackles with 49, with one interception and a fumble recovery in 11 games.

Campbell is determined to return to the secondary.

“I want to play safety at a Division I school,” Campbell said. “I wasn’t a linebacker. It was something I got tired of playing. I’m a defensive back, not a linebacker.”

Campbell has asked for, and received a release from his scholarship. Eastern Michigan had offered him a scholarship before, so it makes sense. He, of course, won’t be eligible to play until 2008 if he transfers there or any other 1-A school.

Better for him to transfer rather than give questionable effort because he didn’t like the change of position.  Campbell was part of that ‘tweener class that was mostly recruited by Harris but finished by Wannstedt, and it just didn’t work out for him.





He couldn’t even come close to covering a RB out of the backfield and he wants to go back to the secondary…(eye roll) What a convinient excuse for being a turd.

Good luck with that Tommie.

This is not a surprising story. He appeared to be pretty blase’ about a lot of things last year, hence the suspension.

We really have no place for him here anyways. Where could he come in and make an impact this year?

I recognise your sarcasm, Chris.

For those of you not from the NYC area, this is a link to Coach W’s interview re Revis. Some good soundbites.

Someone better point out to TC that even secondary players have to be willing to hit (Deion Sanders notwithstanding). That said, good luck to him. Hopefully he won’t devastate us by divulging Paul Rhoad’s brilliant secrets to Eastern Michigan (now THAT’s sarcasm…)

my son was never even given a chance 2 play the position he was recruited 4 so lets not name call turd ok and be more of adults and just wish the players support before i turn in od turner and a bunch of your marijuana smoking players and you would’nt even have any 1st team starters you will be using second team,players ok. The only thing pitt did 4 my son is use him, he was way better than the safety they had out there and they know that but was afraid 2 be proven wrong Wannstead and the Rhoads had a personal thing against my son how can u be so great at the position they recruited u for and never be given a chance 2 play it dont blame him 4 transfering had he had it his way pitt would have never been in the picture his heart was with eastern michigan but daniel peep short talked him into going there and he got fed up with everybody tryn 2 make decisions 4 him i say always put the better man out there not naming names but the one they had playn safety over Tommie was not even close how do i know ask alot of the people that knew the way Tommie played they even question me why pitt was doing Tommie the way they did hi. Last but not least God doesnt judge u so u don judge next season they better b on top of things becuz one thing Tommie does has is still friends @ Pitt and they know your marijuana smokers and so will the NCAA and the eveyone else. Why would i do this is becuz i can. And comment to Jon watch the play and know the position Tommie played his position the other player didnt Tommie came up after covering his own man and then tried 2 help out the othe player but Tommie was 2 late I know the play becuz alot of the Pitt players came over plenty of times 4 dinner and even said that wasn’t Tommies man.I aint afraid
