BORO BACK M’MMM GOOD
Springboro’s Antoin Campbell has emerged as a breakaway back and leads the Greater Western Ohio Conference in all-purpose yards (771 yards).
The junior is no longer under the radar after being ignored by the pre-season pundits. He was used solely as a receiver in the opener against Kings, but in the last three games he has rushed for 385 yards. He wants to be a blend of power and finesse at 5-11, 185 pounds.
“I’m pretty fast through the holes,” Campbell said. “I pride myself on going forward, never backward. My vision is improving each week and I’m learning to make better reads and finding the lanes…I enjoy watching Beanie Wells for his power and Georgia’s Knowshon Moreno for his quickness and vision.”
Said Panthers coach Ryan Wilhite: “Antoin is a dynamic ball carrier with some explosion. We felt we had to get the ball in his hands because he can make plays all over the field. He had five catches and an 85-yard kickoff return against Kings.”
