Will Campbell is on the cusp of making history as the first LSU offensive tackle ever chosen in the first round of the NFL Draft. Under Brian Kelly, who has a track record for developing elite offensive linemen at Notre Dame, Campbell hopes to join the ranks of notable first-round picks like Quenton Nelson and Ronnie Stanley. Nelson, drafted by the Colts in 2018, has been a dominant force, making seven Pro Bowls and three All-Pro teams, setting a high standard for Campbell.

Projected to go as high as No. 4 to the New England Patriots, Campbell has drawn comparisons to other Kelly protégés, including Mike McGlinchey and Zack Martin, both of whom have found success in the NFL. Martin’s transition from tackle to guard serves as a potential path for Campbell, who, at just 20 years old, is younger than Martin when he entered the league. With a solid foundation in Kelly's program, Campbell's future looks bright as he aims for a successful rookie campaign.
