After a successful apprenticeship as a top assistant, Garrett Campbell (right) will fill a new role this fall as head football coach at Illinois College.
Campbell, the offensive coordinator at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the past four years, will fill the position left vacant in March when Aaron Keen accepted a coaching position at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
A California native, Campbell earned his bachelor’s degree at California State University at Fuller ton in 1998 and the M.S. in education from Northern State University in 2002. He was an assistant coach at Fuller ton College from 1997-99, Northern State U. in 2000 and Willamette University in 2001 before accepting the offensive coordinator job at Menlo College in 2002. At Menlo, Campbell was instrumental in developing that program in to a consistent leader among the nation’s top Division III offensive teams.
He moved to Carthage in the CCIW in 2004 and was a key member of a coaching staff that posted 31 wins over the past four seasons. The 2004 Carthage team finished 11-2, won the CCIW title and reached the national quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II Playoffs.
The new IC skipper was ranked as one of the nation’s top prospects for a head coaching position by American Football Monthly prior to the 2004 season. Under his direction, Carthage set school records for rushing,, passing and scoring, and moved in to the upper tier of DIII football programs in the Midwest.
