Tyler Cameron Decision Coming Soon

Could USF pick up a quarterback commitment on Tuesday?

From Greg Auman - Tuesday should be an interesting day next week for USF recruiting in 2012. 4-star quarterback Tyler Cameron, the talented signal-caller out of Jupiter, Florida, is set to make his announcement after making multiple visits to other teams.

The 6-3 215-pound quarterback had over 20 offers, but has narrowed it down to 4 teams. USF, LSU, Purdue, and Illinois.

Now, USF would like to bring in a quarterback in the class of 2012 to help add depth after the departure of Jamius Gunsby. Cameron has visited USF and has a strong relation with the coaching staff. He has stated he would like to have a chance to play early in his career and go to the best possible situation. Daniels would be a senior next season, Floyd being a freshman and Eveld being a sophomore. So he could come into the program that Fall and battle Floyd and Eveld for position and possibly win the job in 2013.

As GA noted, there was some buzz around twitter comments from CB commit Chris Bivins welcoming him to the family, but that tweet was deleted and it was stated, don't be surprised if he comes here. So there is a lot of speculation around him, but we will have to wait and see. The other offers he has are big.

Now Cameron has strong ties to the SEC and LSU, stating he likes the atmosphere of LSU and thinks playing on that level would be exciting. LSU could use a quarterback and the chances are high he could land there.

There are Purdue and Illinois, both historic program and could possibly snag him. He is familiar with their coaches as well.

So make sure to pay attention to twitter and Bull Rush when Cameron does make his commitment and see if he does somehow pick USF.

    He would be such a great pickup. I can't tell you how often I've hated the height of our quarterbacks. Sometimes I wonder if they can even see over the line of scrimmage..

    If he committed, he could definitely play in his freshman year during our blowout games or if BJ gets injured. I hope these recruits recognize the kind of play time they can get if they come to USF.

    He would be a nice fit. I go agree with the height issue we have had, Grothe for example was undersized and Daniels is not towering over anyone. Understand, those Qbs fit Leavitt's system of spread run and not big time passing game.

    He would battle Floyd who is a solid player and Eveld who will still be around. We will know more Tuesday.
