Florida State wide receiver George Campbell has announced that he will finish his career at Penn State.

The 2015 signee entered Tallahassee with promise, but multiple core injuries prevented him from reaching his potential.

"It’s no secret that the last four years have been full of highs and lows for me, but I’ve always been told that 'tough times don’t last, tough people do,'" Campbell said in a statement on his Instagram account.

"With that being said my journey is nowhere near over yet and I am excited to announce that I will be writing the next chapter of my life at THE Penn State University. I am thrilled to be a part of the Nittany Lion family and am thankful to the coaching staff and players for accepting me with open arms!"

Campbell signed with FSU in 2015 as a composite five-star recruit.

He played in 10 games as a freshman and recorded three catches for 42 yards.

A hip injury ended his 2016 season before he saw the field. A re-aggravation of the same injury ended his 2017 season after he recorded a career-high six catches for 122 yards in four games.

Campbell said he was fully healthy ahead of FSU's 2018 season and appeared in seven games, even starting against Notre Dame.

"While I will forever be grateful to Florida State for the opportunity to be a Seminole, I am excited to take the next step in my journey," Campbell added on Instagram.

"To my Nole brothers, it’s not goodbye, it’s see you later. I love y’all boys and wish you the best. For those who have supported me every step of the way, I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart."

Campbell's departure leaves the Seminoles with 10 scholarship receivers, five of whom just completed their freshman seasons in 2018.
