Previewing Top MSU Football Incoming Freshmen: Collin Campbell

Michigan State's head coach Pat Fitzgerald calls out to players during spring football practice on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, in East Lansing. | Nick King/Lansing State Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The Only Colors recently completed a series of articles analyzing the four-member recruiting class that Tom Izzo is bringing to the Breslin in 2026-27. We now shift our attention down Shaw Lane to Spartan Stadium.

New Head Coach Pat Fitzgerald will have a 21-player haul for his first recruiting class, many of whom were recruited by the previous coaching staff. For our next series of articles, we are going to be highlighting a select few members of this class, specifically ones who we believe could have a chance to see the field in 2026. We begin this series with Collin Campbell.

Campbell is an offensive tackle from Gilbert, Arizona, just southeast of Phoenix. Different websites list him differently; I have seen him at either 6’6” or 6’7” and anywhere from 265 to 290 pounds. Naturally, the various sources have varying rankings on Campbell.

ESPN has him as a 3-star with a 79-grade and as OT57 in the class. On3 gives him a 4-star, 91. 47 grade and has him as OT21.
