CJ Campbell Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Rutgers Scarlet Knights

Headed to Durham Campbell will transfer to Duke, per On3.com.

Impact Campbell transferred to Rutgers for his senior season after a great year with Florida Atlantic in 2024 in which he ran for 844 yards and reeled in 466 receiving yards, totaling 14 touchdowns. However, he was carted to the locker room in Week 3 against Norfolk State and didn't return. That was a brutal twist of fate for the tailback, but the silver lining is that it occurred in Week 3, meaning he still has eligibility remaining for 2026. He'll join a running back room that includes young stud Nate Sheppard, but he'll look to add experience and depth for the Blue Devils next fall.

Leaving Piscataway Campbell (undisclosed) is entering the transfer portal, per On3.com.

Impact Campbell was a limited part of Rutgers backfield in 2025, rushing for 119 yards on 22 carries. That's a far cry from the season he had in 2024 with Florida Atlantic, when he racked up 1,310 total yards and 14 touchdowns. He figures to have one more season of eligibility remaining.

Out for remainder of 2025 Campbell (undisclosed) is out for the rest of the 2025 season, per Brian Fonseca of NJ.com.

Impact Campbell, who was carted to the locker room in Week 3 against Norfolk State, predictably missed the following game against Iowa and has since been ruled out for the year. Playing in just three games this fall, the senior should be able to claim a medical redshirt year in 2025. In his stead, expect an uptick in carries for Antwan Raymond and Ja'shon Benjamin.

Out vs. Hawkeyes Campbell (undisclosed) isn't available for Rutgers' Big 10 opener versus Iowa on Friday night.

Impact Campbell was carted to the locker room in Week 3, so it's rather unsurprising that the tailback won't be able to suit up after a short week. The tailback has 22 carries for 119 yards this season, but more onus will now fall on Antwan Raymond and Ja'shon Benjamin in the Scarlet Knights' backfield.

Shares backfield in win Campbell notched 10 carries for 70 yards during Thursday's 34-31 win against Ohio.

Impact Campbell worked as a change-of-pace back behind Antwan Raymond, and based on the totals, it seems that there's enough work for both of them to log respectable totals. Campbell is a player to monitor in this offense, as his snap count could replicate Raymond's load often this season.

Lands with Rutgers Campbell will transfer to Rutgers, On3.com reports.

Impact Campbell will become the successor to star tailback Kyle Monangai in Piscataway. Campbell was highly productive in 2024 with FAU as the Owls' lead back, amassing 844 yards and 11 touchdowns on 5.1 yards-per-carry. The tailback is also a proven receiving threat, an element he added to his game this fall when he caught 40 passes for 466 yards and three scores.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dominant in final FAU outing Campbell notched 15 rushes for 100 yards and hauled in all four targets for 118 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 63-16 victory against Tulsa.

Impact Campbell ended his FAU career on a high note, recording a season-high 218 yards from scrimmage thanks in part of a 78-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter. He rushed for 100 yards for the third time this season and impressively added over 100 yards receiving as well. It was a stellar season for Campbell as he rushed 165 times for 844 yards and 11 touchdowns, adding 40 catches for 466 yards and three touchdowns through the air. He will now look for a new home in the offseason and after an excellent campaign he could find his way back into a Power 4 conference.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plans to enter transfer portal Campbell is expected to enter the transfer portal once the 2024 season ends, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Campbell should be a sought-after player in the portal after what can only be described as a successful 2024 season with the Owls. The Florida State transfer has rushed for 744 and 11 touchdowns in 2024. He also has 36 catches for 348 yards and two more scores.

NOVEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent in Saturday's loss Campbell totaled 21 carries for 150 yards and one touchdown and gathered in all three targets for 25 yards during Saturday's 39-27 loss versus Charlotte.

Impact Campbell rushed for a season-high 150 yards Saturday, his second 100-yard rushing outing of the season. He also scored his 13th touchdown of the season, a 58-yard rush in the fourth quarter which took the 27-26 lead. He faces another favorable matchup Saturday at Tulsa in the season finale.

NOVEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in OT loss Campbell compiled 20 rushes for 70 yards and two touchdowns and caught 6 of 8 targets for 57 yards during Saturday's 18-15 overtime defeat to Temple.

Impact Campbell had one of his best outings of the season Saturday as he gained over 100 yards for the fifth time this season and scored multiple touchdowns for the fourth time this season. One of his touchdowns tied the contest with just 34 seconds left in the game. Campbell faces a pair of favorable matchups to end the season, starting with Saturday's contest versus a Charlotte team that just allowed 425 yards and six touchdowns on the ground versus South Florida.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in blowout loss Campbell had 11 carries for 34 yards and gathered in 5 of 6 targets for 13 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 49-14 loss against East Carolina.

Impact Campbell did not have a very productive day in terms of yardage Thursday, but his two-yard touchdown reception late in the fourth quarter salvaged a decent performance. He caught five passes for the third time in his last four games, but he struggled to get going on the ground since the Owls' fell into a massive deficit early in the game. He faces a favorable matchup next Saturday at Temple.

NOVEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent in Friday's loss Campbell notched 12 carries for 90 yards and two touchdowns and reeled in 5 of 6 targets for 78 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 44-21 defeat to South Florida.

Impact Just one game after recording 23 yards from scrimmage at UTSA, Campbell broke out with 168 yards and three touchdowns versus USF. He scored a nine-yard touchdown on the ground in the first quarter and then ran in a 30-yard touchdown in the second quarter. In the third quarter, he broke off a 63-yard reception for a touchdown, capping off his best performance of the season. Although he split carries fairly evenly with Zuberi Mobley, Campbell stole the show.

NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shut down versus UTSA Campbell compiled nine rushes for 19 yards and reeled in 1 of 3 targets for four yards during Saturday's 38-24 defeat against Texas-San Antonio.

Impact Campbell had 481 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns in his four games leading up to Saturday, leading to optimism for his performance versus UTSA. Instead of another productive outing, he was completely shut down versus the Roadrunners, accumulating just 23 total yards on 10 touches. The hope among his fantasy managers is that this will just be a fluke, but he started the season with two dud performances so it may not be.

OCTOBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another productive outing Campbell logged 18 rushes for 89 yards and one touchdown and caught all six targets for 74 yards during Saturday's 41-37 loss against North Texas.

Impact Campbell had another excellent day Saturday, highlighted by his 12-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter, his fifth of the season. He tied a season high with 18 carries and put up his second most rushing yards with 89. He also set season highs in receptions (six) and receiving yards (74). Campbell has proven to be a consistent producer and should continue to do so against easier opponents throughout the rest of the campaign.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent in Saturday's win Campbell Jr. tallied 15 rushes for 145 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 41-10 win against Wagner.

Impact Campbell had his best outing of the season Saturday as he rushed for a season-high 145 yards on just 15 carries, and scored two touchdowns in his second straight game. He did not catch a pass for the first time this season, but given the game was a blowout, that is not a major concern moving forward. He's still splitting carries with Zuberi Mobley, but Campbell has proven he can still be productive in the split backfield.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores twice versus UConn Campbell Jr. totaled six carries for 53 yards and two touchdowns and caught 1 of 2 targets for 16 yards during Saturday's 48-14 defeat against Connecticut.

Impact Campbell was out-carried by Zuberi Mobley, but he accumulated more rushing yards and scored the Owls only two touchdowns of the game. His seven touches are the fewest he has had this season, but the Owls were losing throughout the game. Unfortunately for him, it appears he will be splitting the backfield with Mobley -- not to mention quarterback Cam Fancher -- but Campbell has proven his ability to produce even in the committee backfield.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Bounces back Saturday Campbell Jr. compiled 18 carries for 61 yards and one touchdown and reeled in 4 of 6 targets for 59 yards during Saturday's 38-20 victory over Florida International.

Impact Even with Zuberi Mobley exploding in Saturday's win, Campbell had a very productive outing. He received two fewer carries than Mobley but still had solid production on the ground with 61 yards and a touchdown. He continued to shine in the passing game too with four catches for a season-high 59 yards. Mobley's strong outing could lead to more of a split backfield moving forward, but Campbell's receiving upside still gives him solid value moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles as lead back Campbell Jr. compiled eight carries for 20 yards and caught all three targets for 16 yards during Saturday's 24-7 loss versus Army.

Impact Campbell once again led Owls' backs in touches, but once again failed to do much with those opportunities. He gained just 36 yards on 11 touches as the team focused on throwing the ball after falling down early. The early signs are pointing towards the team being down in games more often than not, which would limit Campbell's opportunities on the ground for the rest of the season.

Struggles as lead back Campbell Jr. compiled eight carries for 20 yards and caught all three targets for 16 yards during Saturday's 24-7 loss versus Army.

Quiet day in opener Campbell compiled 12 carries for 29 yards and gathered in 2 of 12 targets for six yards during Friday's 16-10 loss to Michigan State.

Impact Campbell led Owls' running backs in touches Friday with 14, but only gained 35 yards. He was the first running back on the field for the Owls, a signal that he won the job over Zuberi Mobley. While the Florida State transfer did not have much production, he should have plenty of opportunities versus weaker opponents.
