MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia’s football team had few bright spots against Iowa State, but linebacker Shea Campbell provided one.
The redshirt sophomore from Morgantown High earned a late nod at middle linebacker when starter Dylan Tonkery was unable to go because of an injury from the Kansas game.
Campbell, a former walk-on who played safety in high school, did not disappoint.
Though the Cyclones clearly recognized that he was the new guy on the field, Campbell did a bang-up job of standing his ground with a game-high 12 tackles, including six solos and two tackles for loss.
The totals are even more impressive considering that Campbell has primarily practiced at outside linebacker.
“I thought he did an adequate job,” Holgorsen said. “I was happy with him, with how he practiced throughout the course of the week. Then, he went in there and made some good stops.”
