Joining Borden in the backfield is Campbell, who helped give the Rebels a dynamic rushing attack in 2016 that was easily the clubB次元官网网址檚 biggest strength.
Campbell posted 743 rushing yards and 162 receiving yards across 11 regular season and playoff games and, with fellow rusher not returning, says heB次元官网网址檚 ready for a full workload.

B次元官网网址淭he football gods blessed me with a little gift one day [when] Scott Borden gave me a call. I was over the moon estatic to hear that he was available and willing to come back,B次元官网网址� he said.
B次元官网网址淸Campbell] looks really nice. HeB次元官网网址檚 a very explosive running back. One-on-one there will be nobody in the country thatB次元官网网址檚 going to be able to handle this guy on a consistent basis. He can score from anywhere on the field.B次元官网网址�
The first-year Rebels boss was pleased with how the weekend went overall.
B次元官网网址淭he guys digested the system really fast and learned really well. WeB次元官网网址檝e got some really good, explosive athletes and some good depth,B次元官网网址� he said.
One area where the Rebels could use a little help is with regards to housing its players. The Greater Victoria rental market continues to be a challenging one and the club is short on billets for the season. Anyone interested in becoming a billet is encouraged to visit the teamB次元官网网址檚 website at
