Antonio Campos, son of former soccer star Jorge Campos, plays soccer for Cal State Fullerton while pursuing a business degree. After experiencing loss due to the Palisades fire, Antonio embraces college life and aims to help his team succeed. Although influenced by his father's legendary past, he seeks to define himself outside of that legacy. Antonio's sports journey began through various disciplines, including basketball and volleyball, and is supported by intense training sessions with his father. He also values his educational pursuits as part of a new generation in his family.
"Just being in college is a success. I feel blessed," said Antonio, who is studying business while fighting for minutes as a Division I goalkeeper.
"With my dad, everything is intense. Lots of training on the beach, reflexes, technique, cutting crosses. Things he did better than anyone else," said Antonio, who does not shy away from his surname but does not want it to define him.
"I don't feel pressure. I prefer to teach the values my father instilled in me," Antonio said.
Antonio is part of the first generation in his family to attend college in the U.S. and he knows that his path extends beyond soccer.
