Nebraska poised to snatch a top Syracuse defensive commit in bold recruiting play

The Nebraska football team’s coaching staff hinted earlier this week that a commitment from a Florida-based high schooler was on the way. On Sunday, one recruiting analyst shed some light on who it might be, as current Syracuse pledge Kamron Wilson was predicted to be a Husker flip at some point in the very near future.

Wilson is a 3-star EDGE that committed to the Orange on March 30. However, he's been looking for greener pastures almost since he pulled the trigger on that commitment. It took no time at all for the fight for the Miami Southridge (Miami, FL) player to become a fight between Matt Rhule and his former defensive coordinator, Tony White. However, while Florida State is always an impressive obstacle, Rhule might get the last laugh.

Kamron Wilson flip prediction has Nebraska challenging Syracuse for Florida pass-rush standout

On Sunday, On3 analyst Bryan Munson logged a prediction for the Nebraska football team to land Kamron Wilson. While that prediction wasn’t all that strong, giving it a 55% chance to become a done deal, it has seemed like the Cornhuskers were going to score this commitment for a while.

Wilson was in Lincoln over the weekend at a camp that has received nothing but rave reviews, and it appears the coaches also received rave reviews from him. 

Nebraska does have some competition from other teams, other than Syracuse. He recently visited Mississippi State. On that trip, he said the Bulldogs surprised him a bit with their approach and what they offer.

"The visit definitely exceeded my expectations," Wilson told SI during his post-visit interview. "Coach Lebby and his staff showed me exactly how I'd fit into their defensive scheme. They've got a clear vision for the program."

Matt Rhule also has a vision for the future of Nebraska football. Here’s hoping his vision is enough to convince Kamron Wilson he needs to spend his college days in Lincoln.
