Nebraska Football Countdown to Kickoff: No. 11 Cameron Lenhardt

The countdown until August 31 is down to 11 days.

The countdown to kickoff for the Nebraska Cornhuskers is nearly down to single digits with just a mere 11 days remaining until the Huskers kickoff their 2024 season on August 31 against the UTEP Miners. 

With 11 days left, sophomore defensive lineman Cameron Lenhardt is in the spotlight.

A native of Staten Island, New York, Lenhardt attended IMG Academy in Florida for his final two seasons of high school football. In his recruitment, he eventually committed to the Huskers as part of their 2023 recruiting class over both Michigan State and Penn State. 

As a true freshman, Lenhardt made an immediate impact, playing in 10 games and even started four games for the Huskers last season including the season opener against Minnesota. By starting that game, he was only the second true freshman defensive lineman ever to start a game in program history and the first to do so in a season opener.

In those 10 games, he recorded 16 tackles including five tackles for loss and three sacks. 

This upcoming season, Lenhardt will once again be a key member of the Huskers defensive line rotation as he’ll split a majority of the reps with Ty Robinson as defensive tackle.

“After going through the whole process I really felt like the coaching staff at Nebraska was genuine and authentic with me,” Lenhardt said per Bryan Munson of On3.

247 Sports Composite ranks Lenhardt as the 33rd-best edge rusher in the 2023 class. His other two finalists were Michigan State and Penn State.

IMG Academy defensive end Cameron Lenhardt is set to make his college decision this Thursday, August 25th. He will be deciding between his top three of Michigan State, Penn State and Nebraska.

All predicitions point to Lenhardt choosing the Cornhuskers, which checks out considering Nebraska was the only offical visit Lenhardt took in the month of June.

Lenhardt attended Michigan State’s junior day on January 29th, but the coaching staff has not pushed the hardest for the IMG product.

We will see the ultimate decision this Thursday.

4-Star pass rusher visits Lincoln over the weekend

A big-time recruiting visit took place this weekend for Scott Frost and company!

A 4-star lineman originally from Staten Island, NY, made a visit to Lincoln this weekend to check out the Cornhusker program. Cameron Lenhardt, of IMG Academy out of Bradenton, Florida, made a visit to Scott Frost and company. The 6-3 240-pound defensive end originally started his career in New Jersey for famed high school program Don Bosco Prep before heading to the sunshine state.

Nebraska is currently considered one of the leading programs the edge rusher is considering, but he also has visits scheduled to Maryland, Michigan State, and Penn State. Rivals currently have Nebraska as the front runner for Lenhardt, while On3 says that Michigan State is the likely leader in the clubhouse. However, he’s also said that he is in no rush to make a commitment and will likely make a decision either during his senior season or after its conclusion.

Four-star defensive lineman reacts to Penn State visit

Four-star DL target in 2023 reacts to his most recent visit to Penn State.

Penn State hosted a big recruiting target on Monday when four-star defensive lineman Cameron Lenhardt made a trip to Happy Valley. The four-star prospect from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida put out a post on his Twitter profile reacting to what was seemingly a pleasant visit with James Franklin and the Penn State program.

Penn State is seemingly in a recruiting battle for Lenhardt with Michigan State and South Carolina. Lenhardt previously posted a few images of him in a Michigan State uniform on his Instagram account following his previous visit to East Lansing.

Of course, this was a day after he had posted a similar image of him in a Penn State uniform following a previous visit to Happy Valley.

Penn State extended a scholarship offer to Lenhardt in the summer of 2020, and he has since made four unofficial visits to Penn State. This would seemingly suggest Penn State is in a favorable position on the recruiting trail, and head coach James Franklin reportedly told Lenhardt they would be coming after him vigorously now that the Class of 2022 has been signed, sealed, and delivered.

Already off to a nice start with the Class of 2023 with a significant focus on the offensive line, adding Lenhardt would be a nice piece for the future of the defensive line as well.
