2025 NFL Draft: Will Campbell Scouting Report
Will Campbell is one of the best offensive lineman prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. He’s a battle-tested player playing against some of the best pass rushers in the country, such as Landon Jackson (Arkansas), Suntarine Perkins and Princely Umanmielen (Ole Miss), and Kyle Kennard (South Carolina). Campbell, who has started 31 career games, all at left tackle, has been an All-SEC selection in all three seasons that he played in Baton Rouge, making first-team the past two seasons, and being named as a first-team All-American by the Associated Press.
Campbell has a smooth game for a young offensive lineman with an advanced skill set for a player his age (Campbell turned 21 in January), and his footwork and technique make him a natural fit at left tackle. He also has the power and toughness to be effective in the running game, being athletic enough to finish blocks at defenders at the second level. During his time at LSU, Campbell was awarded the No. 7 patch, given to the team’s best playmaker from Louisiana the past two seasons, as he was the first offensive lineman to receive that honor.
Strengths
Battle-tested by several NFL-caliber pass-rushers.
Sets properly with his knees with excellent technique and body control.
The first punch usually jolts the defender at the point of attack in both pass and run blocking.
Above-average agility to keep up with speedier edge rushers, which also allows him to adjust to pulling blocks in the second level.
Superior grip strength allows him to maintain and finish blocks.
Weaknesses
Average arm length.
Penchant for drifting and oversetting against speed rushers turning the corner when playing on an island.
Will need improvement on hand placement on lateral blocks.
Predictable timing with punching defenders.
Struggles at redirecting defenders with the speed rush and average core strength can sometimes be an issue against bull rushers.
NFL Comparison: Taylor Decker
Teams with needs at the position: Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers.
Projection: Early to mid-first round
Bottom Line on Will Campbell
Will Campbell is an athletic prospect with the size and athleticism to succeed at the next level. He was a pillar on the offensive line and went against a gauntlet of the SEC’s best pass rushers. He was an unsung piece to Jayden Daniels winning the 2023 Heisman Trophy. Campbell is a dedicated team player who will work on his faults as he gets proper coaching and access to an NFL weight training program. Finally, Campbell’s best position is at left tackle and deserves an opportunity to prove himself there, despite his smaller arms. He has the skill and the measurables to succeed in the NFL, contrary to what some scouts may believe.
