Lucas Campbell was a member of the Vols track and field team. He walked onto the Tennessee basketball program in October of 2015, just as Rick Barnes was set to begin his first year as head coach of the program.

His first points came in a dominating win over the Auburn Tigers in the 2016 SEC Tournament. Barnes put him in, and he hit a three-pointer. That was one of four games he played in all year. He only played five total minutes in three games the next year and scored 4 points, all on free throws.

Despite rarely playing, the guy has had some memorable moments. He hit another three-pointer against the Presbyterian Blue Hose to open the 2018-2019 season, and that was the only shot he took all season. Finally, this year, he was able to log 5 points by hitting a three-pointer against Tennessee Tech and then a field goal in the SEC opener against the Georgia Bulldogs.

Obviously, Campbell was never going to play much, but he has appeared in six games so far this year, and Tuesday night could be seven. He’s 3-for-5 from the three-point line, or 60 percent, for his career.

A Knoxville product, Campbell has been able to be a part of a major rebuilding project, and despite not playing much, he did his part. After all, Barnes needed him to simulate things in practice, and he remained loyal to the university all the way through. So he deserves a lot of credit for remaining loyal, and that helped him become part of something very special.
