Recruiting Notre Dame 2025 DT target Christopher Isaiah Campbell rose from adversity

Login to view embedded media
I chatted with Notre Dame 2025 defensive tackle target Christopher Isaiah Campbell last evening. He reported an offer from the Irish Tuesday.

Campbell said he was blown away by the Irish in-person last season while on a game day visit to North Carolina.

“Notre Dame is a very prestigious school and I'm just amazed by getting offered from them,” Campbell told Inside ND Sports. “I’ve been hearing very good things. I went to their North Carolina game last year and I saw that tight end for Notre Dame … he was real good. I saw some of their defensive line, they were putting in work. I felt like, ‘’Man, Notre Dame is a great team.’”

The 6-foot-5, 265-pound defender attends Snow Hill (N.C.) Greene Central. He had 61 tackles including 17 for loss and five sacks last season.

Prior to high school, Campbell played outside linebacker. As a freshman, he only weighed 200-pounds and played defensive end. Now, Campbell pencils in as a defensive tackle.

Growing up, Campbell also played basketball. However, he said the physicality and defensive opportunities football offered meant something more for him.

“I liked how physical it was … in basketball, I never really got that,” Campbell said. “That’s really where my love for the game came from. I’m able to hit somebody and put my hands on somebody and I can just be physically violent with somebody, which I couldn't do in basketball.”

Campbell told me he’s willing to leave North Carolina for college and said academics and how transparent coaches are will be major factors in his recruitment.

Rivals rates him as a four-star prospect in the 2025 recruiting class. He is ranked as the No. 11 defensive tackle in the 2025 class.

Campbell reports 16 offers including Notre Dame, Colorado, Duke, Georgia, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Penn State and South Carolina.

After his recent offers from the Bulldogs and Irish, Campbell’s had to adjust his summer schedule and doesn’t have anything finalized but visiting Notre Dame is on the table.

“About 95% of it is done,” Campbell said. “I'm trying to go to Indiana. I'm trying to see what’s up there. I've been there a few times when I was in AAU basketball, but I'm trying to see Notre Dame. One of my close friends, [2025 defensive end target] Gus Richey, went there for a visit he's been telling me how nice it is and how wonderful it is to be at Notre Dame.”

Recruiting Notes on new 2025 four-star DT target Brandon Brown

Login to view embedded media
I caught up with 2025 four-star defensive tackle Brandon Brown tonight after he reported an offer earlier Thursday afternoon.

The 6-foot-2, 275-pound recruit from Palm Bay (Fla.) Eau Gallie is ranked as the No. 27 overall player and No. 3 defensive tackle in the 2025 recruiting class.

For reference, Notre Dame 2024 defensive tackle commit Davion Dixon is ranked as the No. 10 defensive tackle in the 2025 class.

"I was really excited," Brown told Inside ND Sports. "To have an offer from Notre Dame is a blessing. I don’t think anyone in this area has been offered by them, so it’s special."

Brown said he knows the Irish mostly from their nationally televised games on NBC and the 1993 film, "Rudy."

He grew up playing running back but switched to defensive tackle as he got older and bigger. He believes his natural athleticism and technique are two major strengths.

"Most people love how explosive I am and how I use my hands," Brown said, "I’m different than most defensive tackles because I am able to explode and I’m not scared to shoot my hands. I focus on the task at hand and continue to work hard. I'm a hard-working person. I feel like my play shows that."

Brown said academics is a priority to him and his mother. He also said he wants to feel comfortable when he's around coaches and players at different programs.

His offer sheet is currently at 29 total offers and includes Notre Dame. Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Miami (Fla.), Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M and USC.

Brown visited UCF and Miami this spring and said last month he'd like to visit Miami, Florida State and the state of Texas this summer. He told me he's still working on a schedule and the Irish are now on his list after offering.

"I'm really excited," Brown said. "The tradition is different at Notre Dame. It’s like nothing else in college football."
