PARRIS CAMPBELL EXPECTED TO BE A CRUCIAL LEADER FOR OHIO STATE IN 2018
With the departures of J.T. Barrett, Billy Price, Tyquan Lewis and several other key veterans from last year’s Ohio State football team, the Buckeyes’ potential leadership void entering the 2018 season has been well-documented.
One Buckeye who is expected to play a huge role in filling that void, however, is Parris Campbell.
As one of two returning captains from last season, along with fellow wide receiver Terry McLaurin, Campbell was already a leader for the Buckeyes in 2017. Going into 2018, though, Campbell appears poised to potentially become the most prominent leader in Ohio State’s locker room.
Following a recent vote by his teammates, Campbell is set to replace Barrett as the player who gives the Buckeyes their pregame speech before each game this upcoming season, he and his fellow wide receivers revealed at last week’s Ohio State job fair.
Campbell said he was not present for the vote that put him in that role, but he is honored by the responsibility, though he says he isn’t going to simply try to duplicate what Barrett did.
"I cannot go in there unprepared," Campbell said. "I got to get my mind right. I want to go about it my own way. I don’t want to be too repetitive. I want to bring my own swag to it, my own flavor to it. And maybe it’s not always serious. Just get my guys up, get them to smile a little bit."
It will be tough for Campbell or any other player to fill Barrett’s shoes as a leader this season, not only because of how highly regarded Barrett was by his teammates and coaches in that area, but because Barrett was a quarterback – a position where a player is naturally expected to be a team leader.
Dwayne Haskins, however, is only a redshirt sophomore and entering his first season as Ohio State’s starting quarterback, and will therefore likely need some time to grow into a leadership role. So the Buckeyes are counting on some of the players around him to step up in that capacity.
"You got four legitimate leaders in our program at receiver, and (director of sports performance Mickey) Marotti just is very positive about everything going on in that room and how they’re really helping Dwayne with a leadership standpoint," Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. "And that’s a void. J.T. Barrett was not a good leader, (but) a phenomenal leader."

PARRIS CAMPBELL TAKING RESPONSIBILITY TO LEAD OHIO STATE WIDE RECEIVERS THROUGH COACHING TRANSITION AFTER ZACH SMITH'S FIRING
Ohio State wide receiver Parris Campbell acknowledged that it was "devastating," that he was "stunned," when he found out that wide receivers coach Zach Smith had been fired on Monday evening.
Speaking with the media at Big Ten Media Days on Tuesday less than 24 hours after Smith’s firing, however, Campbell had already shifted his focus toward being a leader for his fellow wide receivers and bringing them together as they prepare for an unexpected coaching transition less than two weeks before the start of fall camp.
A fifth-year senior who is one of two returning captains (along with fellow wide receiver Terry McLaurin) on Ohio State’s roster, Campbell was already expected to be one of the top leaders of this year’s Buckeyes. Now, though, Campbell’s role as a leader has become even more important – and he’s embracing that.
"Honestly, I feel 100% responsible (for leading Ohio State’s wide receivers through the coaching transition), just because I am considered one of the leaders of the room," Campbell said. "I feel like they just need to hear a voice right now, and what better way to hear that from a fifth-year guy, an experienced guy, a guy who they’ve looked up to."
By the time he spoke Tuesday afternoon – at which point he had already been through a full day of media commitments – Campbell said he had already reached out to every other wide receiver on the team and talked to them, and that the wide receivers all planned to get together and talk on Tuesday night when he arrived back in Columbus.
"We’re going to all get around each other and just have conversations, have real dialogue and like I said, just get around each other and love one another and talk," Campbell said.

If anything I pray Zach Smith instilled into this young man the ability to catch a ball more than 15 yards away from the LOS before he was fired. Probably the one thing that stop Parris from being a first round pick.

Parris Campbell Wants to Leave Legacy in Final Season at Ohio State
Like several Buckeyes every year, receiver Parris Campbell had an NFL decision to make following the 2017 season.
There was little doubt that Campbell could have come out a year early and put up the kind of combine numbers that make scouts and GM’s smile. Had he done that, however, there was also little doubt that he would have been selling himself short.
“I felt like I had some personal goals that I didn’t attain, and I think ultimately I felt like if I would have left last year I would have cheated myself out of a lot of things,” Campbell said last month at the Big Ten Media Days.
“Number one, I want to leave a legacy at Ohio State and if I would have left Ohio State I would have cheated myself on that. And second, I feel like I have so many more things to polish up on and show these NFL scouts that I am a polished receiver.”
The process of becoming a receiver after being a running back in high school was never easy for Campbell.
His work ethic and ability to do what his coaches asked got him on the field early in 2015. In fact, he was in the starting lineup for the Buckeyes in the season opener that year.
Of course, it was that game where he also had a drop early in the game that would stick with him almost to this day.
Results like that kept Campbell working hard to become the receiver that he believes he needs to be in order to do it for a living.
He also came back because of the guys he would be working with.
“I knew coming back I wasn’t coming into something that was artificial,” he said. “It’s real with our unit. A lot of teams may talk it and a lot of teams may say it, but it’s not a cliché with us. We actually mean it and we live it. I knew coming back with those guys would be an enjoyable time for sure.”
Last year, Campbell was named a captain and took ownership of the H-back position that seemed to suit his skill set better than an outside receiver. This year, he is expected to be a captain once again, and the fact that he was one of three Buckeyes sent to the Big Ten Media Days to represent his team was not lost on him.
“I couldn’t imagine myself sitting in a room talking to you guys,” he said last month. “It was something that I always wanted though. It was something that I thought about when I was working. If you’re at Ohio State, you want to be known as one of the best. You want to be known as one of the guys. So, it was something that I always thought about. Getting the awards, getting the accolades, and getting the attention.”

Watching that live, it never looked like he really hit top speed. I kept waiting to see a defender up ahead he was waiting to juke, but he's so fast it doesn't look like he's trying very hard.
Also, I really like this dude. Has a ton of potential, struggles with consistency, yet he's a real leader and always puts in the effort for the team.
