Senior tight end Daniel Campbell makes a block against a University of Southern
Mississippi player. Campbell has two catches for 16 yards this season.
BY AL LAZARUS
The Battalion
Daniel Campbell has great hands
and excellent blocking ability, but the
one thing the Texas A&M senior tight
end does not have, a victory against a
top-five team, just might be what he
wants most.
“As far as beating somebody that is
considered a national powerhouse,
there’s nobody on this team that wants
it worse than I do,” Campbell said. “It
takes one win over a big team, and then
you’re rolling. For a while, Florida State
and Nebraska could never win the big
game, and now look at them.”
Campbell, at 6 foot 5 inches and
about 260 pounds, has come a long
way since his freshman year at A&M,
when he weighed only 227 pounds
and considered himself a one-dimen
sional player.
“I could always catch the ball;
that’s what got me into college, be
cause I couldn’t block worth any
thing,” Campbell said. “Now my
blocking has finally come along; it’s
actually my strong suit.”
A&M tight end coach Tam Holling-
shead pointed out several reasons for
Campbell’s improved blocking.
“He’s worked extremely hard de
veloping his body and strength,”
Hollingshead said. “The second thing
is he wasn’t even asked to be a block
er in high school, so when he got here
and actually started concentrating on
being a tight end, that contributed to
his improvement.”
Derrick Spiller, the Aggies’ main
receiving tight end, said he enjoys
sharing the spotlight with Campbell.
The two comprise what is considered
to be one of the top tight end duos in
the country.
“I get my catches, he gets his, and
everybody’s happy,” Spiller said. “He
brings a lot of enthusiasm to the team,
and he’s just a really good player, so it’s
good to have somebody like that.”
Although he does not get as many op
portunities as Spiller, Hollingshead said
Campbell is widely regarded as one of
the team’s most dependable receivers.
“Daniel has great ball-catching abil
ity, and he catches the ball in the
clutch, so from that standpoint, we like
to throw the football to him,” Holling
shead said.
Campbell, who had a career-long 37-
yard reception against the University of
Texas last year, said he prides himself
on being a go-to receiver.
“If it’s third and five. I’ll get us a first
down, that’s how I feel about it,” Camp
bell said. “I can do that for this team.”
With Nebraska looming on the Ag
gies’ schedule, Campbell knows he
will have at least one more chance to
beat a top-five team before his college
career is over.
If it does not happen for him and
his team Campbell said he will still
have many fond memories of his years
in Aggieland, with one standing out in
particular.
“When we came from behind to win
against Oklahoma State last year, that
was huge,” he said. “I can’t even ex
plain the feeling that everybody had
when that happened.”
Campbell said he will miss a lot of
things about college football, but most
of all he will miss the feeling he gets be
fore a big game.
“You look up and see the crowd, and
you just can’t believe how many fans
are there to see the game,” he said.
“And with all the fans we’ve got, you
can’t beat being out there at Kyle Field.
That’s the greatest feeling.”

Too Easy
With the men and women sweeping the
cross country titles this weekend, coach Dave
Hartman said he was pleased with his team's
performance.
“They ran real well," Hartman said. “We
had a lot of freshmen compete, and they
stepped up.”
Both teams seemed to be running as if they
had no competition at all, easily handling the
other teams in the field.
The men had their best team score of the
season, placing all five scorers in the top 10 and
winning with a total of 28 points — 31 points
ahead of second place Southern Mississippi.
Freshman Brandon Beasley covered the hilly
5000-meter course in 15 minutes, 46 seconds to
lead the Aggies with a third-place finish.
Freshman Chris Lee came in three seconds
later to take fourth place.
Freshman Brian Oubre came in at 15:58 and
sophomore Mike Hummel finished in 16:01 to
take sixth and seventh place, respectively.
Sophomore Chuck Cusimano capped off
the scoring with an eighth place finish with a
time of 16:08.
Also placing in the top 20 were freshmen
Mike Sovinsky, placing 14th with a time of
16:37, and Aaron Henrickson, placing 20th,
with a time of 17:04.
The women did equally well, winning with
a total of 31 points.
Freshman Kristy Bonn took third place, fin
ishing the 5000-meter run in 19:21.
Freshman Katy Gilstrap crossed the line four
seconds later to finish in fourth place.
