Cass Tech Standout to Join Wolverines

Detroit Cass Tech Defensive Line standout, Will Campbell originally committed to the University of Michigan and then dropped his commitment to the football team in early September to consider other options, which turned out to be LSU and Miami.

However, late in the third quarter of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Campbell finally made his decision of where he intends to enroll. With hats from LSU, Miami and Michigan laid on a table in front of him, Campbell picked up the Michigan hat and put it on his head. The 6-foot-5-inch, 310-pound Campbell, who played at Detroit's Cass Tech High School, has said he intends to enroll in college for the winter semester.

Rivals.com ranks Campbell as its No. 25 player overall nationally, and its No. 4 defensive tackle.

This commitment should help ease the sting of the recent decommitment of Shavodrick Beaver. Beaver, who decided to attend Tulsa rather than Michigan, is one of several Michigan recruits who changed their minds about coming to Ann Arbor after a poor 2008 season.
