Former Detroit mayor Dave Bing is doing what he can to mentor Jayru Campbell, the state champion quarterback from Detroit Cass Tech.

"I believe he's a good kid who made bad decisions," Bing told the Free Press in a telephone interview Wednesday after Campbell appeared at the Detroit Public School League's National Signing Day event to support 13 teammates who signed letters of intent to play college football.
Campbell was released from the Wayne County Jail on Jan. 21. He had been incarcerated for all but a few hours since July 28, first for slamming a school security officer to the ground in January 2014, then for a parole violation for pushing his girlfriend in a school stairwell and taking her cell phone in September.

Campbell, once committed to Michigan State, isn't sure where he'll next play football.

"I know that I can help him," Bing said. "I intend to help him. I think he's learned from what he's done, the mistakes that he's made. I think I see a little humility, which I think is very important. But he accepts the fact that he's made mistakes and that he can't afford to make any more mistakes. He is under a microscope for all of the obvious reasons."
