BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - After a come-from-behind win in week one over Illinois, junior place kicker Charles Campbell, wide receiver Cam Camper and true freshman outside linebacker Dasan McCullough each earned national honors.
Campbell earned Lou Groza Star of the Week for the third time in his career, Camper was an honorable mention player of the week selection by the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award and McCullough was tabbed on of the top true freshmen in week one by 24/7sports.com.
Campbell accounted for 11 points in the victory over Illinois and converted all five of his kicks on the night. He hit all three field goals – connecting from 39, 43 and 43 yards out – and was true on both extra point attempts. It is the third career double-digit scoring game for Campbell and his fourth career game with three-plus field goals made.
Camper produced the most yards receiving in an Indiana debut in program history as he brought in 11 passes for 156 yards. Six of his 11 grabs went for a first down, with three catches coming on the game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter.
The Lancaster, Texas, native combined with D.J. Matthews Jr. (109 yards) to become the first IU duo since 2018 and just the 14th in program history to produce two 100-yard receivers in the same game. Prior to Friday's game versus Illinois, the last duo to reach the mark was Nick Westbrook (109) and J-Shun Harris II (104) at Ohio State on Oct. 6, 2018.
The co-leading true freshmen tackler in the Big Ten during week one, McCullough played 40 snaps and logged six tackles and 0.5 tackle for loss. His six stops were tied for No. 2 among Power 5 true freshmen. His first career tackle came on special teams and he combined with JH Tevis on a fourth-quarter tackle for loss.
