Kalen Villanueva brings size, versatility, and a proven transfer-track résumé to Campbell’s linebacker room
Villanueva is a 6-foot-2, 235-pound linebacker who arrives at Campbell with experience from Illinois, Louisiana Tech, and UConn, and he has shown he can earn snaps in multiple stops rather than just ride the bench. His best selling points are his college-tested toughness, positional flexibility, and recruiting pedigree as a former three-star prospect ranked among Virginia’s top defenders. He also has a recovery story in his background, having missed the 2021 season with injury, so teams get a player who has already navigated adversity and kept moving forward.
