MATT CAMPBELL

I would describe Matt as having a quiet confidence about him. We talk all the time about what you do when no one is watching. Matt gets in extra workouts, he gets extra runs in to work on his conditioning, he stays after practice to work on his shooting. That work ethic is what really stands out about him and it has raised him from being an outstanding player to being one of the best players in the country.
