2025 NFL Draft: LSU OT Will Campbell Draft Profile and Scouting Report

Will Campbell has been a three-year starter for the LSU Tigers. He’s been a key part of the Tigers offense, protecting Garrett Nussmeier and Jayden Daniels. Arm length might be an issue for him, which NFL Scouts and front office personnel will have to make a decision on, but he has not let it stop him. If he declares for the 2025 NFL Draft, he could be a top pick if he measures well at the NFL Combine.

Will Campbell 40 Time

Projected 40 Time: 5.24 seconds

Will Campbell is a three-year contributor for the LSU Tigers at left tackle. He played well enough during the spring that he was an immediate starter for the Tigers at left tackle, a position that he hasn’t given up since. He possesses solid height and weight for the position when compared to the league average. However, as mentioned above, arm length is going to be a key measurement for him, based off of where he’s struggled on film. Our projected 40 time of 5.24 second sis on-par with the league average.

Campbell anchors well in pass protection by developing thrust from his feet and driving through the opponent. He handles speed off the edge with ease and displays solid recovery ability. Displays a good ability to stun opponents and reset his body when blocking in zone. Delayed blitzes and stunts aren’t an issue for him to handle Additionally, he shows good footwork out of his stance in pass protection to keep a stable frame without laboring.

However, he does seem to struggle to engage defenders and establish leverage. It’s unclear at this point if this is an arm length issue or a technique flaw. Finally, aggressive use of hands from edge rushers are difficult for him to overcome and win the rep.
