Don Campbell was a three-sport student-athlete, playing both sides of the ball in football, mastering the javelin in track and field, and was as high as the team's number-two golfer. He once held the school record in the javelin throw at 213'2" during a time where the men's track program won MAC titles in 1970 and 1971, as well as playing on the 1970 football team that won the MAC North championship and defeated Georgetown in the Atlantic City Bowl. Campbell racked up nine varsity letters, four in football, three in golf and two in track and field. On the gridiron the native of Derry, Pa. split time as a receiver on offense and as a defensive end, becoming a three-time MAC Player of the Week during his career and an All-Lutheran Team selection after his junior season. He also handled punting duties, including a campaign in 1968 where he booted the third-most punts in a season with 63 at the time of his induction.Â
