Floyd Campbell was a two-year letter winner for the Bobcat football team from 1970-71. Transferring from Cisco Junior College, Campbell became a major player in the success of his team as both a running back/halfback and kick return specialist.
 
During his first year as a Bobcat, after having five games of rushing for more than 100 yards off the bench, Campbell earned the starting running back position late into the season. As a special team’s standout, Campbell led the team in kickoff returns, averaging 24 yards per return, placing him 16^th all-time in kick return yards per season.  During the 1970 season, Campbell also earned one Lone Star Conference player of the week award.
 
In 1971, Campbell was part of a dominating team that finished 8-1-1 and tied for the Lone Star Conference Championship.  Campbell was the starting tailback and again led the Bobcats in kickoff returns while being named second team All-Conference. He finished his career 18^th all-time in average yards per kick return and is sixth all-time in total kick return yards. 
 
Campbell graduated in 1974 and began an extensive career as both a teacher and coach.   In 1981, he began one of the most successful coaching campaigns in the state as head men’s basketball coach for 24 years at West Oso High school.
 
As the men’s basketball coach, West Oso dominated its competition. During his 24 years as head coach, Campbell led his teams to 19 district championships. Campbell won six regional championships and appeared at the state basketball tournament six times. He was named District Coach of the Year 15 times, Metro Coach of the Year six times and South Texas Coach of the Year five times and was selected to coach the 2004 Texas Basketball Coaches Association All-Star Game.   Campbell retired in 2009.
