He stuck with that Friday night as he mixed in senior Tommy Elliott, junior Rico Paul and sophomore Derek Campbell.

Out of the three, Campbell seemed to stick out the most. He broke off a couple big runs, including a 20-yard touchdown that was nullified by a penalty.

"He's fast," Albright said. "If we can get him to go straight ahead and put his shoulder down, I think he'll be OK."

Experience is an issue though. Albright said Campbell has stood out while in middle school and during his freshman year, but warned he's on a different level now.

"He's been the big guy on the block for three years," Albright said. "He was the biggest, the fastest, the strongest — just doing what he felt like. Then all of a sudden he's getting tagged a little bit... but he'll work through it. He'll be a good back."


Is this the kid that made news 2 years ago because he ran like a 11 sec 100 meters in 8th grade?  If so how good can this kid be by the time he is a senior?

This is the kid. He's a soph now. I'm not sure how good he is but I know he's a huge KSU fan.

this thread makes me feel like the 30-something old man at the highschool kegger.
We all know there's been a conspiracy. Only the failures have been recorded.
We all pay too much attention to Icarus, and not enough to his father.
