BIG STAGE BOUND: LSU’s Will Campbell Among 17 Elite Prospects Set to Attend 2024 NFL Draft in Person
Baton Rouge, LA — The spotlight is getting brighter for former LSU star Will Campbell, who has officially been named among the 17 elite prospects invited to attend the 2024 NFL Draft in person, the NFL announced this week.
Campbell, a dominant force on LSU’s offensive line, will be in Detroit on April 25 as the football world watches the next wave of talent take their leap to the professional stage. The moment is a testament to both his on-field excellence and his status as one of the top offensive linemen in the 2024 class.
Campbell’s Rise to Stardom
From the moment he stepped onto campus in Baton Rouge, Will Campbell made an impact. As a freshman, he started at left tackle — a rare feat in the SEC — and immediately proved he belonged, protecting quarterbacks and paving the way for LSU’s potent ground game.
In just two seasons, Campbell earned Freshman All-American honors, All-SEC recognition, and the respect of coaches and teammates alike for his toughness, leadership, and maturity beyond his years.
“Will is the kind of player who sets the tone for an entire team,” said an SEC offensive line coach. “He’s aggressive, consistent, and professional in everything he does.”
Projected First-Round Pick
Now entering the NFL Draft, Campbell is widely viewed as a first-round talent, drawing interest from multiple teams in need of a franchise left tackle. His blend of size, athleticism, and high football IQ makes him one of the most coveted trench players in this year’s draft.
NFL scouts have praised Campbell for his “violent hands,” his balance in pass protection, and his relentless effort in run blocking. Many believe he could be an instant starter at the next level.
Representing LSU on the National Stage
With his draft invite, Campbell carries on LSU’s rich legacy of producing NFL-caliber talent. He joins a long list of Tigers who’ve heard their names called in the first round — and potentially the top 15.
His presence in Detroit also marks a moment of pride for LSU fans, who’ve watched Campbell evolve from a high school standout in Louisiana to one of the most respected offensive linemen in the country.
Looking Ahead to Draft Night
The 2024 NFL Draft will be held from April 25–27 in downtown Detroit, with the first round airing live on national television. As Campbell walks the red carpet and hears his name called, it will be the culmination of years of dedication — and the beginning of what promises to be a stellar professional career.
With his helmet off and spotlight on, Will Campbell is ready for the big stage — and the next chapter of his football journey.
