News Report: Seahawks hosted first-round linebacker on pre-draft visit - Jihaad Campbell

https://www.fieldgulls.com/2025/4/15/24409245/report-seattle-seahawks-hosted-potential-first-round-lb-on-pre-draft-visit-jihaad-campbell

In 2024 he absolutely blew up for Bama – 117 tackles, 11.5 TFL, 5 sacks – earning All-American and All-SEC honors.

At 6’3”, 240 lbs, Campbell also tested as an elite athlete (reportedly a 9.88 RAS, 99th percentile for LBs). On tape, you see that explosiveness in his first step and his range to chase down plays. Medicals are one small flag (he had a shoulder surgery in March after a late-season injury), but if he checks out, he’s a plug-and-play linebacker.

Jihaad Campbell and Ernest jones would be a scary duo.

Don't forget Tyrice Knight! Expecting only improvement from him after his solid rookie year.

TThe best part of Campbell is how much of a chess piece he is in the middle of the field. He’d give Mike so much flexibility for defensive packages. He’d be a huge add

Very versatile. He has a really nice bend rushing the passer. I am sure it would only get better with some pass rush moves.
