Campbell served as an assistant coach for the Titans from 2006-09 before taking the same position at Adams State from 2009-13. He would return to his role with Cal State Fullerton for the teams' 2013-14 campaign which featured five athletes who qualified to compete in the NCAA West Regional Championship and 43 athletes who traveled to UC Davis to compete for individual conference titles at the 2014 Big West Championship.
During his time at Adams State, Campbell guided the men's program to its first-ever outdoor track & field national championship in the spring of 2012.

During his first stint as a Titans' assistant coach, Campbell helped coach Big West individual champions Johnathan Golden (high jump 2008), Garrett Myers (triple jump 2008) and Laron Brown (high jump 2009). All three were also NCAA qualifiers.
As a student-athlete at Cal State Fullerton, Campbell ran track and field and played basketball. He earned All-American honors in the high jump in 2002 and qualified for the NCAA championships in both the long and high jump in 2001 and 2002. He was also a two-time Big West Conference champion in the long jump (1999 and 2001) and high jump (2001 and 2002) and was a member of the two championship 4X400 meter relay teams (2000 and 2001).
