BUIES CREEK — Campbell closed day one of the 2022-23 initial national signing period with 15 future Camels inking national letters of intent.

All 15 are high school products, set to become CU student-athletes prior to the 2023 football season.

Already one of the nation’s top classes, 13 members of the group are rated as two star or higher recruits, including 12 three star prospects. The list includes eight defensive standouts and seven from the offensive side.

The nationwide class hails from coast to coast, including 10 signees from California, three from Florida and one apiece from North Carolina and Ohio.
