Michigan Football Secures a Super SEC Major Commitment from Five-Star OL Will Campbell, Choosing Wolverines Over LSU, South Carolina, Oklahoma Sooners, and Oregon
ANN ARBOR, MI – Michigan Football has landed a major commitment from one of the top offensive line prospects in the nation. Five-star recruit Will Campbell, widely regarded as one of the premier offensive linemen in the 2025 class, has officially announced that he will be joining the Wolverines, choosing Michigan over a slew of powerhouse programs, including LSU, South Carolina, Oklahoma, and Oregon. This commitment is a monumental win for Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh and his coaching staff as they continue to build a top-tier program capable of competing for national championships.
Campbell, who is a 6-foot-6, 320-pound offensive tackle from Lafayette, Louisiana, has been one of the most coveted recruits in the country. Known for his powerful frame, excellent footwork, and ability to dominate at the point of attack, Campbell is expected to make an immediate impact wherever he plays. His commitment is a major statement in Michigan’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its offensive line, an area that has been a focal point in recent years.
The recruitment of Campbell was an intense battle, with LSU being the early favorite given his Louisiana roots. However, the Wolverines turned up the heat in his recruitment, impressing Campbell with their strong academic program, commitment to developing talent, and a championship-contending football team. Michigan’s ability to convince Campbell to leave SEC territory and play in the Big Ten speaks volumes about the direction of the program under Harbaugh.
Campbell’s decision to pick Michigan is a significant blow to several SEC and Power Five programs that were heavily involved in his recruitment. LSU, where many believed Campbell would stay close to home, and South Carolina, who also made a strong push, were both seen as serious contenders. Oklahoma, under head coach Brent Venables, and Oregon, led by Dan Lanning, were also in the mix, making this commitment all the more notable for Michigan.
For Harbaugh, landing a player of Campbell’s caliber strengthens a recruiting class that is shaping up to be one of the best in the country. The Wolverines have long been known for their prowess on the offensive line, and Campbell’s addition to the fold only enhances that reputation. His commitment is not only a victory for Michigan on the field but also in recruiting, where securing five-star talent from the South is a key piece in the program’s continued rise.
Campbell’s high school coach, who has praised the offensive tackle for his work ethic, leadership, and maturity on and off the field, is confident he will be ready to make an immediate impact at the next level. Michigan fans can expect to see Campbell as a key figure on the offensive line as the Wolverines look to continue their dominant run in the Big Ten and beyond.
With Campbell now officially in the fold, Michigan’s 2025 class is bolstered with yet another elite talent, continuing their efforts to compete on the national stage for years to come.
