Campbell: Scheme change will be key to replacing David Long
West Virginia linebacker Shea Campbell during practice on Saturday.MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – More than 10 minutes into a recent interview session, Shea Campbell finally got the question he was waiting for.
“I was trying to think ‘What are they going to ask me about today?’” the senior linebacker said of his pre-interview thought process. “’Oh, they’re going to ask about David.’”
Indeed, the question of how to replace David Long Jr. is unavoidable for West Virginia’s 2019 defense. The Big 12 defensive player of the year led the 2018 Mountaineers with 111 tackles. No teammate came within 34 stops of that total.
