Campbell was selected late in the second round of the NFL Draft on Friday, being taken by the Colts with the 59th pick. He’s the third Ohio State player to be drafted in 2019 and was the second B1G player taken in the second round, behind Penn State’s Miles Sanders.
Campbell was the leading receiver for one of the most explosive offensive teams in the country last season. He totaled 1,063 yards on 90 receptions while helping the Buckeyes to a 13-1 record and B1G title. His 12 touchdown catches tied for the highest total in the conference.
In three seasons in Columbus, Campbell totaled 143 catches for 1,768 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Ohio State has had three players selected so far through the first two rounds of the NFL Draft. Nick Bosa was taken by the 49ers with the No. 2 pick and Dwayne Haskins was selected by the Redskins at No. 15.
