Cameron Meredith on board
The Huskers have locked up another defensive commit, this one coming from California.
Cameron Meredith, 6-foot-5 and 225-pound defensive end, has been committed to Nebraska for a couple weeks but didn't want to make it public until he told other interested schools of his plans.
Oklahoma and Oregon were on his short list. Bill Busch was the main Husker assistant who recruited him.
Last year, Meredith had 60 tackles and eight sacks as a junior for Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei. Taking after me, he benches 310 pounds and squats 400. (OK, that's a little more than I put out.)
Meredith visited Lincoln a few weeks ago not anticipating much of anything. "I mainly went there and didn't think it was going to be that great. Just coming from California, you don't hear much about Nebraska."
That mindset quickly changed. By the time he was going back home to Huntington Beach, California, he knew he was coming to Nebraska.
"Both are really down-to-earth guys," Meredith said of Busch and Husker head coach Bill Callahan. "You can tell they're trying to help kids and not yell at them."
Meredith will be in town with family for the USC game. More on him in a story coming soon.
