Colorado Transfer WR Ernest Campbell Shocks Fans with Explosive Track Debut—Is a Dual-Sport Stardom on the Horizon?
You won’t believe the buzz around Colorado’s latest transfer haul this offseason — over 40 new faces hitting the field, but one name had to make a splash beyond just football. Enter Ernest Campbell, a Sacramento State transfer who didn’t just suit up for the Buffs; he stormed the track at the Colorado Classic and clocked a blazing 6.76 seconds in the 60m dash. That’s right, folks — 6.76, snagging fourth overall and snagging the ninth fastest time ever recorded in Colorado’s program history. And get this: Campbell’s no stranger to the sprint scene, having raced for Texas A&M back in 2025 with some jaw-dropping personal bests (6.73 60m, 10.02 100m, 20.90 200m). While he’s primarily here to make waves on the gridiron, his track debut reminded everyone why he’s a name to watch on both turf and track. With the Big 12 Indoor Championships right around the corner, the countdown begins to see when Campbell will lace ‘em up again. Curious for the full rundown on this electrifying athlete’s journey?

Due to Campbell’s football commitments, it is unclear when we will see him next on the track. The Big 12 Indoor Championships are scheduled for February 27-28, which seems like a good bet for Campbell’s next appearance, if not the week before at the Colorado Last Chance meet.
