Nebraska football now a player for former Oregon commit Cameron Williams

The Nebraska football team has decided to enter the sweepstakes for a defensive back who had been a commit to Oregon until a few days ago.

The recruiting efforts of the Nebraska football team are rolling right along. On Wednesday afternoon, the Cornhuskers made an official offer to California athlete Cameron Williams.

The prospect, who projects most likely to be a defensive back in college had been a commit to the Oregon Ducks until very recently. It doesn’t seem as though the timing of Williams’ decommit and the Cornhuskers’ offer is a coincidence.

According to 247Sports, the athlete is a three-star prospect when it comes to the composite ratings. He’s also the 46th best athlete in the class.

There had been very few people who were surprised when he committed to the Oregon Ducks, though there were plenty who were a bit taken aback when he decided he was reopening his recruitment.

Because he hails from California, and had already committed to a Pac 12 school, most experts believe he’s likely to stay in the area.

Williams has an offer from USC and that has to be the school that is the odds-on favorite to win his services in the end. Oregon isn’t exactly out of the running either.

What is clear is that the Nebraska football team is going to have some work to do if they want to beat off the rest of the competitors for Cameron Williams services. When you look at the run the Cornhuskers have had in the last few weeks, nothing is impossible.
