Just comparing the two…They are similar imo

I think Wilkerson has better frame and maybe more growth, tad better feet, later movement.

Campbell to me looks more explosive off the ball and has a big initial punch. Heavy hands. But some of that may be playing against small kids.

It's so hard to tell how anyone on the OL will perform in college when the competition looks to be so much smaller. You expect a guy with this size to beat up on the comp on size and strength alone.

Our family is moving next year to get our 6'1 210 pound 13 year old, who is heading into 8th grade, better completion. He plays late fall travel football and still dominates against guys with better size, but he needs that on a consistent basis.

Welcome to the U kid. I'd love to see someone post some game footage to see how he brings it every down. On vacation at the moment, but if someone can post it, that would be great.

We haven't decided. Two years from that point we're likely shopping powerhouse programs in Texas, Ohio, or even NC. Gotta go baby steps with my Wife as we're close to her family right now. I can't do FL anymore, grew up in the Tri County areas, but that Florida weather isn't for me anymore. I'd make an exception for IMG though.

Other consideration is my 10 year old who loves soccer and plays all year round, but is a big kid as well. Perhaps better suited for FB one day, but time will sort that out. He just has soccer on his brain 24/7 and I'm down for whatever he loves. That keeps me busy 5 days to 7 days a week for 10.5 months. This and Christmas break are the only down times. Of course he wants to go to 3 camps (all 9 to 3 M-F) three weeks in a row. I'll likely consent to 2 with voluntary 2 day practices starting next Tuesday and Thursday. We travel 45 minutes each way right now for everything at a minimum.

Busy being dad and at an amusement park for 3 days.

Developmental tackle that i dont even check for in two years.

I sure wish kid went to Edgewater to face better talent but maybe he is loyal because OCP is bball school an actually got him offers.

I feel he took the kid from the panhandle spot if you taking a developmental guy one that is 6'6 300 right now is a cool start.
I honestly get nothing from his jr film. Cant wait to see this year.

Good early take though for development. Im trying to remember if Matt Mccoy played bball as well, im thinking that type of trajectory for Campbell.

His footwork needs help and he needs work overall like 98% of high school lineman. And he isn’t exactly facing major Florida competition. But he’s big, he does move his feet well in the run game, but he plays nasty. Looks like a guard but these guys know lineman. Saw some good things though. I like Wilkerson more but what do I know.

Usually good indicator for movement, tons of elite O-Linemen have played basketball.

But it's so impossible to tell who is gonna be the guy at the position unless it's someone with such athletic traits in HS that he just stands out (Mauigoa).

My neck of the woods, Milton, GA, is always looking for some talent and program has a history of success in the state and sending kids to D1

At the OL positions, where kids don't normally play as underclassmen, I'd rather see them taking developmental guys with a hungry, humble attitude with elite physical traits over the 4 star guys who share the same physical tools who think they are already special & deserve to have their asses kissed.

Agree on Wilkerson but look like Syracuse is his preferred destination.
