FSU football: Noles offer 2025 four-star DL Isaiah Campbell

FSU football coaches have done a good job filling needs in its 2024 recruiting class with quality players.
They have some major targets remaining and hope to land a big target Friday with five-star defensive back Charles Lester III.

However, they have already started building relationships with 2025 players and beyond. They already have a 2025 blue-chip QB and receiver committed and will look to build on that success with a strong 2023 season.T

Monday, FSU extended an offer to four-star defensive lineman Isaiah Campbell. Campbell hails from Southern Durham High School in Durham, North Carolina.

Why is that significant? FSU landed one of the top defensive tackles from North Carolina in the 2023 recruiting cycle, Keith Sampson. It looks like Sampson and Campbell know one another to an extent.

Campbell holds offers from a ton of major programs like Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, LSU, NC State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Penn State, South Carolina, Virginia, Miami, Oklahoma, and others. He ranks as the No. 121 player nationally and the No. 11 defensive lineman.

He ranks as the No. 4 player in the Tarheel State. Keith Sampson ranked as the No. 6 player in North Carolina in the last recruiting cycle.

I’d consider Campbell an interior guy since he tagged Odell Haggins in his offer on Twitter. He lists at 6’4″ and 265 pounds.

Campbell had 61 tackles, 17 tackles for a loss, three QB hurries, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and five sacks as a sophomore.

North Carolina has a good history of producing good defensive linemen, and I’m sure the Noles will have to battle the in-state schools, Alabama, and Clemson for his services. Hopefully, Keith Sampson’s relationship with him is something they can use to get him on campus relatively soon since they need big-time defensive tackles badly.
