Recruiting 2015: Jayru Campbell

OK, the floodgates are open now. The Spartans received their second commitment for 2015 from Michigan quarterback Jayru Campbell. This is another big time commit, since Campbell is likely to be a consensus 4-star recruit and since he had offers from places like Alabama and Notre Dame. Campbell already has good size for a QB (6'3"), but he probably will grow at least another inch or 2 by next year. Let's check out his video.

Campbell clearly keeps the Spartans moving towards very mobile quarterbacks. He doesn't appear to possess 4.3 speed, but he looks to be about as mobile as Tyler O'Connor and Damion Terry - both of whom are quite fast. Unfortunately, we're looking at highlights here, so we can't really get a sense of some important traits like how he reads defenses and handles pressure, but at least we can see that he has a strong arm and good accuracy on some deep passes. And again, we're talking about a sophomore here, who should develop a lot over the next 2 years.

Bottom line: I don't think MSU has ever recruited as much talent at quarterback as it has in the last 5 years. Campbell is another excellent prospect, who also happens to play for Cass Tech, a UM pipeline. Campbell's commitment could really get the ball rolling on Cass Tech becoming an MSU pipeline.
