The Miami Dolphins kept their Texas pipeline rolling Saturday, selecting Longhorns offensive guard DJ Campbell with the No. 200 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Campbell became the third Texas player chosen by Miami on Day 3, joining edge rusher Trey Moore and safety Michael Taaffe.
He’ll also reunite with former Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, giving the Dolphins another familiar face from Austin inside the locker room.
For Miami, the pick adds proven depth and experience to the offensive line. Campbell was a dependable presence for Texas, appearing in 50 games during his college career and making 43 starts.
Most of that work came at right guard, where he helped anchor one of the top offenses in college football.
DJ Campbell’s value comes from durability, strength and experience in big moments. During his time with the Longhorns, he blocked for both Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning, helping keep the pocket clean while opening lanes in the run game.
Texas leaned heavily on Campbell in high-pressure SEC matchups, and he answered with consistent play.
The 22-year-old arrived at Texas as a highly touted five-star recruit from Bowie High School in Arlington. After four seasons in Austin, he leaves with All-SEC recognition and the kind of resume NFL teams covet late in the draft.
Miami did not begin the weekend with a sixth-round selection, but a trade with the Carolina Panthers gave the Dolphins the chance to make this move. They used that opportunity to add another lineman with a starting pedigree.
For a franchise focused on protecting its quarterbacks and improving trench play, Campbell makes sense as a developmental piece who could compete quickly. With his size, experience and winning background, the former Longhorn now gets his shot in South Beach.
