John Campbell Jr. Returning To Tennessee

an offensive lineman for the Tennessee Volunteers, declared on Monday night that he will rejoin the squad in 2024.
On Monday, Tennessee experienced a lot of roster movement, which was seen in the number of portal departures. On Monday night, they finally got some good news when it was revealed that John Campbell Jr. will be returning for his final year of eligibility.

Campbell played football for Miami and is currently an offensive tackle for Tennessee. Standing at roughly 6 feet 5 inches and 320 pounds as a sixth-year senior, he will be competing in his seventh year when he first announces his intention to rejoin the Volunteer

For the Tennessee offensive line, this is crucial because they anticipate losing a few players to the transfer portal earlier in the day, including Connor Meadows and Addison Nichols. Despite having only played one season at Tennessee, the senior had an instant impact as a Rocky Top starter and has since proven to be a formidable force at tackle. After his play against the Kentucky Wildcats, he was chosen to the 2024 Reese’s Senior Bowl watch list and won the SEC offensive lineman of the week award.

Before electing to join the Volunteers, Campbell played with the Hurricanes for five years. The Volunteers are hoping to bring back Cooper Mays and Javontez Spraggins, two of the lineman, as this is a big indication for them. Since the line will already look somewhat different next season, having an experienced presence at the end of the line will be crucial. This is a tremendous start and one less position they will have to worry about when it comes to establishing a starter.
