CAA Football Countdown To Kickoff - Campbell
Rob Washburn
We continue our CAA Football Countdown To Kickoff with a look at the Campbell Camels. Campbell went 3-9 overall (1-7 CAA) against a challenging schedule a year ago, but picked up a road win at #17 Western Carolina and dropped close games to two other nationally ranked foes.
The Camels' offense is expected to be led by dual threat quarterback Mike Chandler II, who passed for 1,118 yards and 12 touchdowns and ran for a team-high 505 yards and 3 TD's last season. Running back Mark Biggins added 406 yards and 3 TD's on the ground despite being limited to nine games due to injuries and Campbell also returns receiver Randall King, who made 30 catches for 413 yards and 2 TD's.
Campbell has some holes to fill defensively, but welcomes back two of its top three tacklers. Safety Jojo Pace recorded 87 stops and picked off a pair of passes, while linebacker Logan Livermon added 63 tackles and 2.5 TFL's.
