Matt Campbell grew up in a football family, that included one-on-one games with his younger brother, Scott, and going to two-a-days with his father, Rick.

But the way he prepared for games at Mount Union was “abnormal.” His brother Scott explains why:

Matt Campbell's former teammates, players and coaches all say the same thing: He has, and always will be, the same guy — no matter the situation.

My deep dive on his rise from D-III Mount Union, Toledo and Iowa State and why he's now prepared to lead Penn State, from those who know him best:

@CFB_Dalton @Preferred_WO @CFBMaxChadwick @eli_nagel_ You guys deserve it! Do absolutely quality work

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

#Clemson DB Ashton Hampton has challenged wide receivers at the LOS and at the catch point consistently this season. Against Syracuse, had a couple of PBUs on passes downfield, and has the discipline to play through WRs hands without being called for a flag.

Had an INT later in the game too, reading the eyes of the QB.

@ThePenOfEli @acosta32_jp He knows ball

Kirk Cousins to KOC

[Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero]

Blockbuster! The Raiders are trading four-time Pro Bowl QB Kirk Cousins to the Vikings for their 2027 third-round pick, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.

Cousins returns to Minnesota for the playoff push, while Las Vegas turns to No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza.

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

Not the season I envisioned for #Minnesota QB Drake Lindsey, but some positives I took from the UCLA loss on 3rd downs and pressure. Showed off some pocket movement on the first two reps, beat the pressure bearing down on him twice on slants, then dropped a nice deep ball with touch.

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

Ohio State safety Earl Little Jr. violently runs the alley in the run game and is excellent as a low hole defender. Had some rough reps matched up with Oregon's Jamari Johnson in man coverage but overall fills the alley with authority and has been a bright spot on this defense.

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

I've never seen a backup QB more addicted to throwing interceptions than Carson Wentz

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

Looks like the same guy was just shown on the MNF just now. Can he play QB for the Vikings???

[Steve Hoikkala @stevehoikkala]

Credit to this #Vikings fan in the Tampa Bay heat going “ALL OUT” and has a seriously LEGIT uniform for today’s game.

#SKOL Brother! 🫡

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

Despite being a taller center, #Minnesota IOL Greg Johnson does an incredible job getting under the pads of defensive linemen, cutting off front and backside interior players on outside runs, and doesn't stop until he drives a D-linemen or LB into the turf.

Another strong showing vs. UCLA.

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

The value new #Jagaurs DT Jordan Davis brings on early run downs⬇️

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

The #Eagles run defense was so much better on Sunday than it had been the last two games, and Jordan Davis' activity was a big reason for it (Nakobe Dean as well).

Davis was eating up double teams and getting off blocks to make tackles down the line of scrimmage.

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

When you get another first-round pick though, I can see why it was enticing. Now four first rounders the next two years, but man, this one will hurt culture wise in the locker room

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

Jordan Davis was super super elite last year, hence the #Eagles extending him before this season. He hasn't nearly played at the level of last year nor the extension he got, but this is a player who is no question going to make the Jaguars run defense strong.

Did not see this coming at all. WOW

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Blockbuster: the Jaguars are trading a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Eagles for defensive tackle Jordan Davis, sources tell ESPN.

This is the Jaguars’ third trade for a defensive player today while the Eagles now are poised to have 10 picks in the first two rounds of the next three drafts.

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

@recruittheboot Definitely a top 50 guy for me

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

Been super impressed with what #Alabama EDGE/DT Devan Thompkins has put on tape this year. Had another strong outing vs. LSU with pressures from multiple spots, powerful and heavy hands, and pocket pushing ability.

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

#LSU OT Jordan Seaton did a really nice job overall between his true dropback pass sets against both Alabama pass rushers Yhonzae Pierre and Devan Thompkins. Although Thompkins walked back Seaton toward the end of the game, it seemed like the LSU tackle won most of their 1-on-1 reps.

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

@Eric_Edholm I do!

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

#Utah RB Wayshawn Parker is proving that pass pro isn't passive extends to the backfield too, and not just for linemen.

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

Jacob Parrish stocks are way up right now

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

Kansas State DB Jacob Parrish (#10) has a lot of potential. He's physical, sticky in man coverage, and plays the ball well in the air. Mostly an outside corner, but had snaps at nickel/boundary, showed the COD to play in the slot. Senior Bowl bound and should have a good week.

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

Translation: Talking to the players who probably played their last game in Philly with the trade deadline less than 2 days away

Nick Sirianni was late to the presser...here's his reason:

[Devin Jackson @RealD_Jackson]

The Eagles mistakes are sometimes so bad you just have to laugh, man
