Campbell listed his top 12 in November: South Carolina, Penn State, Clemson, Michigan State, Rutgers, Oregon, Virginia Tech, Boston College, Tennessee, Michigan, West Virginia and Duke.
IMG Academy is listed as the No. 1 team in the country by MaxPreps. The team finished 8-0 with games against in-state and out-of-state opponents.
