Since he went to West Point, I'd assume he's got some military commitment . . .
I like Campbell if he checks out medically and his commitment has been waived because of his injury.
I know that for Eckel, the Pats had worked out some sort of deal that would have allowed him to meet his military commitments at a nearby naval base (in RI?). Then, of course, Nick Saban had to go and be a dirtbag and screw that up for him.
I honestly don't know whether a similar arrangement could be made with the other academies (whether for logistical reasons, or b/c Belichick might not have the connections he does with Navy).
I think that the service academies have an agreement with players they recruit (not walk-ons) that the player can resign their commission if they choose to but they have to pay back thye cost of their education.
