Texas OL target Cameron Williams commits to Oregon over the Longhorns and Sooners

The Longhorns lost out on big-bodied offensive lineman Cameron Williams. He announced his commitment to Oregon on Thursday.

Just days after big-bodied offensive lineman Cameron Williams visited the Forty Acres, he was given two crystal ball predictions in favor of Texas.

Steve Sarkisian and his staff, primarily offensive line coach Kyle Flood, were excited about the depth and potential of Williams. The Duncanville native is believed to have a great amount of upside with his 6-foot-5, 360-pound frame.

While everything seemed to be going in Texas’ favor, Williams surprisingly announced his commitment to Oregon via Twitter on Thursday. The Ducks offered Williams early on in his recruitment, while the Longhorns were late to the party and extended an offer on May 5. Oregon coach Mario Christobal is also one of the top offensive line coaches in the country.

 

This commitment gave Oregon’s recruiting class a slight boost according to 247Sports’ rankings. The Ducks moved up one spot from No. 13 to No. 12 in the nation for the 2022 cycle.

Williams marks their second commit of the day, as they also received a pledge from Southern California native and fellow three-star offensive lineman Michael Wooten. Along with Williams and Wooten, the Ducks also got some help on the defensive side of the ball on Monday when four-star linebacker T.J. Dudley committed to Oregon as well.

The Longhorns still have a chance for instant redemption after losing Williams, as four-star lineman Cole Hutson and three-star lineman Connor Robertson are both scheduled to announce their commitments on July 2.

This has been a tough few days on the recruiting trail for Texas after a promising last week with four-star running back Jamarion Miller committing. Over the last two days, the Longhorns lost out on Williams, Terrance Brooks and Keahnist Thompson.

Sarkisian and his staff still have potential to start July off with a bang if they are able to land Hutson and Robertson on Friday. Not to mention, there are are still a few big names on the board such as Kelvin Banks and Devon Campbell. Regardless, having a small win like Williams is one that the Longhorns would have loved.

Texas offensive tackle Cameron Williams commits to Oregon

Three-star recruit and 6-foot-5, 360-pound offensive tackle Cameron Williams selects Oregon as his school of choice.

Mario Cristobal just grabbed another big recruit, and when we say big recruit, we mean that quite literally.

Offensive tackle Cameron Williams, from Duncanville, Texas is 6-foot-5 and weighs 360 pounds. He announced that he will be part of the Class of 2022 for the Ducks on Thursday afternoon.

Williams is rated as a three-star recruit by most services and he was offered by Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Teck, Miami, FL as well as Oregon. The big lineman made his official visit to Eugene on June 4.

The day before committing to Cristobal, Williams said his final three were the Ducks, Sooners, and Longhorns. All a lot of people “in the know” thought Texas was a favorite to land Williams, but Oregon was able to pull off the minor upset.

The next class of Ducks is coming along nicely as Oregon already has many high-profile commits such as linebacker TJ Dudley, safety Trejon Williams, and quarterback Tanner Bailey.

But the name Oregon fans are waiting on with baited breathe is defensive end TJ Tuimoloau out of Washington. He’s one of the top recruits in the nation and will announce fairly soon. The five-star will most likely walk on any campus he chooses and will compete for a starting job right away.

Texas OL target Cameron Williams announces top three schools

Can the Longhorns keep adding to their stacked 2022 class?

Just one day after receiving a crystal ball in favor of the Longhorns, offensive lineman Cameron Williams announced the final three schools left in his recruitment prior to his scheduled commitment date of July 1.

Williams is a four-star offensive tackle in the 2022 recruiting class according to ESPN and he is fresh off of an official visit to Texas on June 25. The Duncanville High School product will be choosing between Texas, Oklahoma and Oregon.

Williams has the college lineman build already, as he currently is listed at 6-foot-5, 360-pounds. He has been a pivotal piece of Duncanville’s success and was named the District 8-6A Offensive Newcomer of the Year as a sophomore.

He is an underrated prospect and possesses the skillset to play higher than his projections. If Texas is able to land Williams, he has the potential to develop into a starter under one of the top offensive line coaches in the country in Kyle Flood.

If Williams announces his commitment to the Longhorns on July 1, he would become the 13th member of Texas’ star-filled class of 2022, and the second this week, as the Longhorns gained a commitment from four-star running back Jamarion Miller on Monday. The class currently ranks No. 6 in the nation and No. 1 in the Big 12 according to 247Sports rankings.
