Cody Campbell
Mr. Cody Campbell was appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott to the Board of Regents of the Texas Tech University System on April 13, 2021. He currently serves as vice chairman of the Finance & Investments Committee and vice chairman of the Carr Foundation Board of Trustees. His term will expire Jan. 31, 2027.
Campbell is the co-chief executive officer and co-founder of Double Eagle Energy Holdings. Headquartered in Fort Worth, Double Eagle is an upstream E&P company, and has been one of the most active participants in the Permian Basin over the last decade, assembling hundreds of thousands of acres and completing billions of dollars in transactions.
He graduated with honors from Texas Tech University's (TTU) Rawls College of Business, earning a pair of bachelor’s degrees in finance and economics and a master’s degree in finance. A fourth-generation Red Raider, Campbell comes from a long line of Texas Tech graduates, including both of his parents, his grandmother and his great-grandfather, who was a member of TTU’s first class in 1925-26.
Campbell was a four-year letterman on the offensive line for the TTU football team from 2001-04, earning multiple All-Big 12 and Academic All-Big 12 honors. He went on to play in the Hula Bowl and Gridiron Classic all-star games before spending two seasons (2005-06) with the Indianapolis Colts after his college career.
Billion, with a capital B: former Texas Tech football players sell company for $2.8B

Seven years ago, Canyon High School alumni and former Texas Tech football players Cody Campbell and John Sellers were fledgling 28-year-old oilmen whose company survived lease to lease.
“For the first few years, our livelihood depended on getting that next deal done,” Sellers said. “There was no other capital or partners, so if we couldn’t sell that next deal, we were going to be out of the business.”
“It was a crazy, very humble starting point for us. We were the lowest form of oil guys.”
Last week, though, the Double Eagle Energy Permian LLC co-CEOs sold 71,000 acres of Permian Basin mineral rights for $2.8 billion, making them two of the richest Texans under 40.
