Getting to know Devin Campbell

Freshman running back Devin Campbell has recorded two 100-yard rushing games this season – the first two 100-yard games by a freshman in UB’s modern Division I history. The Youngstown, Ohio native has accepted a huge challenge: filling the void left by superstar junior running back Branden Oliver (grade-two torn left MCL).

Season stats:

Rushing: 83 attempts, 348 yards, one touchdown

Receiving: 13 receptions, 83 yards

It’s been a successful start for you. What have you found to be the most difficult challenge? Has there been anything you felt that way about?

No, I feel like I’m just coming out and playing football that’s what you have to do. Coming out here, everyone’s bigger, and you just have to adjust to getting hit, and the speed of the game.

What kind of music do you listen to?

I listen to all types except country.  I will not listen to country. I listen to pump-up music, the newer music, [mostly] 2 Chainz.

What is your favorite TV series?

The Walking Dead.

Do you think Herschel will turn into a zombie?

I think they got his leg before it got [infected]. When [Lorrin Grimes] went to do mouth-to-mouth, he grabbed onto her and they never went back to that scene. This next episode is going to be a good one.”

Do you think [Rick Grimes’] decision to kill some of the prisoners in the last episode was a good idea?

“The one dude deserved it. The way he was acting, he needed to go. He was ruining the group.”
