Ohio State could flip Nebraska commit
Four-star wide receiver Cameron Brown (St. Louis, MO) committed to Nebraska in August but made an official visit to Ohio State this weekend as the Buckeyes are hoping to flip him.
"The visit was exciting," Brown told Bucknuts. "I already knew a lot of people there, but I also got to meet a lot of people that I didn’t know. It was pretty cool. I got to hang out with a lot of the players. I thought I got along with them really well. You got the feeling it’s a brotherhood. Tate Martell was my host. I toured around campus, saw the dorms, and a lot of stuff like that. I also got to speak to all of the coaches. They were just telling me to make my decision if the school fits you and if it prepares you for after college, stuff like that."
"It’s really just those two [Nebraska and Ohio State]. My status is still the same. Nothing has changed. I haven’t re-committed to the staff [at Nebraska]. I’ve just been watching, observing everything. Looking at Scott Frost, seeing how things are, and doing my research. I may take another visit out there. I’ve been up there a lot, so I know a lot about it already. But I don’t know yet."
The 6-foot-1, 175-pounder is ranked as the No. 58 wide receiver and No. 337 overall prospect in the country.
