High school notebook: St. V-M junior Parris Campbell Jr. commits to Ohio State for football

By Michael Beaven
Beacon Journal sports writer
Published: February 10, 2013

St. Vincent-St. Mary junior Parris Campbell Jr. has committed to continue his academic and athletic careers at Ohio State University on a football scholarship.

Campbell, 15, helped St. V-M win the Division II state championship in football in 2012.

Campbell is 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds. He emerged as the Fighting Irish?s top running back this past season when he rushed for 1,353 yards and 28 touchdowns on 160 carries.

Campbell, who turns 16 on July 16, is also a capable wide receiver, defensive back and special teams player. He had one receiving touchdown, returned a kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown and scored two touchdowns (65 and 81 yards) on punt returns.

Campbell won Division II state titles in track and field as a member of two Irish 400-meter relay units. He joined Doran Grant, Sae?Von Fitzgerald and Mark Murphy as a freshman, and then combined with Fitzgerald, Fransohn Bickley and Matt Matuska as a sophomore.

Campbell also had scholarship offers from Michigan State, Tennessee and Indiana. Akron, Penn State, Cincinnati and Northwestern were also interested in him.

I'm confused, did he skip a grade somewhere along the way? How is he going to graduate at 16 years old?

I like the film, although i'm not blown away, but knowing that he can't even drive a car yet makes his film a lot more impressive and i'm excited to see what he can do in S&G.

That's my thinking as well. Then I was even more impressed that he was a member of a state champion relay team at 13 years old.

Sky is the limit.

These experts/journalists need some help. He was 13 and started as a freshman at corner, that might sound good in the article:biggrin:

He couldve started school early as well.

Either way, this kid looks impressive! Offense or defense, this kid looks like a great under the radar athlete. Hope to see him blow up over the summer

Meyer's recruiting momentum building at OSU
Zac Jackson
February 12, 2013

AKRON, Ohio - Now that Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary running back Parris Campbell has given his verbal pledge to Ohio State, he goes from recruit to recruiter.

Last Sunday afternoon, Campbell visited Ohio State for the second time in four weeks. By the time he got to head coach Urban Meyer's office and a formal offer was extended, Campbell was ready to accept.

Meyer is so good at this part of the game that Campbell was the third 2014 recruit to give a commitment that day, just four days after National Signing Day for the class of 2013 was completed. Ohio State brought home Scout.com's top-ranked class nationally in 2013, and the additions of Campbell, offensive lineman Kyle Trout of Lancaster, Ohio and defensive end Lawrence Marshall of Southfield, Mich., are the kind that can help the next class attain similar acclaim.

It was, literally and figuratively, another day at the office for Meyer.

"He's a standout coach," Campbell said. "When he comes in the room, you get chills."

Besides his family, the first call Campbell made after committing was to fellow St. V-M alum Doran Grant, a Buckeyes cornerback. The next went to his current teammates and classmates, Dante Booker and Newman Williams. Campbell's commitment caught them a little by surprise, but what he told them next did not.

He wants them to be Buckeyes, too.

Mike Vrabel, Ohio State's defensive line coach and a native of the Akron area, often stops by St. V-M basketball practice to say hello to all three; sometimes, he shoots a few free throws after practice. Luke Fickell, co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, has been with Vrabel, too. Campbell wore a new pair of Ohio State socks to basketball practice on Monday, and probably not by accident.

St. Vincent-St. Mary's colors are green and gold. Campbell's black socks had the red block 'O' on both sides.

"I'm just very excited," Campbell said. "Everybody here knows that. My idol is Archie Griffin. I wanted to be a Buckeye since before I even put on football pads."
