Dave Campbell on Choosing Division III

“First, make sure this is the right school for you. If you feel that it is, we can then talk about lacrosse.”
– Erin Quinn, former Middlebury head coach, to David Campbell, recruit at the time.

Dave Campbell is a fifth year senior on the men’s lacrosse team at Middlebury College in Vermont.  He is a captain, and arguably one of the best face-off middies in NCAA DIII lacrosse.

He went from playing at Boise High his first two years of high school, to moving back east and attending Holderness School in New Hampshire, to being recruited by a number of outstanding lacrosse schools, and finally to suiting up for the Middlebury Panthers.

Recently, Dave wrote an article for ESPN RISE about the recruiting process and choosing the right college. As a player who’s worked hard his whole life chasing a big dream, Dave’s insight is extremely valuable for anyone who finds themselves in a similar position.
