In addition, Campbell had two tackles in the season-ending win.
For Campbell, it was his second HAAC special team recognition for 2012. Campbell had missed a couple of games prior to Saturday's game against Avila.
At the end of the regular season, Campbell ranks 16th in the NAIA in total kickoff return yards (530) and 36th in kickoff return yards per attempt (22.1).
