There's some discussion about that and other former Cyclones here.

Okay. I thought he played really well especially pass blocking.
He did. Of course, he only had to keep ahold of his guy for about 3 seconds because by that time, someone else was sacking the quarterback.
How are you so confident?
On Dallas boards he's not even brought up among 8 or 9 in discussion (assuming they take 9 w/ injury concerns)
The Cowboys essentially played no starters yesterday and I don't believe i saw Campos out there with the 'starting' unit. Playing time in the preseason doesn't mean your making a 53 man roster.
No, he has played both right and left tackle in the previous two preseason games. He looks pretty out of his depth at tackle where even 2nd and 3rd team rush ends have made him look bad. He has completely missed blocks one-on-one at times. And on one drive, he was called for holding twice, earning a dubious extended conversation by the announcers. He looked much better last night at guard, and seemingly held his own, though I am far from proficient in scouting interior offensive line play.
Dallas is suffering from a rash of injuries across the O-line (plus Chaz Green is still suffering the nightmare effects of Adrian Clayborn's sack-fest last year) so there are some openings that would normally not be available. Jake's best bet, IMO, is to look good enough at guard to warrant an 8th or 9th lineman spot while providing emergency time at tackle if needed. He is in as good of a spot as he could of asked for right now, but he is definitely no lock to even make the practice squad.

He did look great last night, but Dallas has a lot of depth on their line. Practice squad is the best to hope for, which is not a bad thing at all.
I was wondering why he would sign with a team that had a lot of depth. Maybe that was the only team that contacted him? I personally thought he would sign with the Vikings. That is still possible.

The announcers mentioned something about it in the 2nd preseason game if I remember correctly. Something about his father being from the Laredo area. I don't know if it was anything more than Campos traveled to Texas regularly to visit family and was a long-time Cowboys fan.
Might be one of those things where he figured "Hey, I'm a long shot. This will be my only go around on an NFL team. Might as well spend 6 weeks with my favorite team."
I like your assessment.
I wonder now though if there might be teams with greater need at guard who might have real interest?...
Cowboys trade for Parker Ehinger from KC.
Sorry Jake... hopefully can catch on practice squad.
