The fifth commit is Cameron Tidd, an 84, 3-star, defensive tackle/end out of Greenwood, Indiana. Cameron is 6’3″, 265 pounds, looks real tough, runs really well and is really good against the run. Saw his pass rushing ability on film too; looks very good there. We got a really good player and sounds like an awesome kid from his interview. He likes the academics at VU, playing at the highest level at a program on the rise, and he loves the city of Nashville. Cameron joins 88, three-star quarterback Deuce Wallace (6’2″, 200, Sevierville, Tn.), 85, three-star offensive tackle Devin Cochran (6’7″, 305, Norcross, Ga), 86, three-star safety Austin Quillen (6’0″, 196, Jenks, Oklahoma) and 82 three-star wide reeiver Donaven Tennyson (5’10”, 170, Richmond, Va.).
And there is some more good news to the Tidd commitment. Tidd told Vandysports.com that he would be recruiting for VU, and the first guy he would be recruiting is his teammate, 87, three-star defensive tackle Jovan Swann (6’3″, 255). Jovan has us high on his list.
Cameron picked us over offers from Navy and Air Force among others with Indiana, Minnesota, Purdue, BC and Cincy heavily involved. Cameron benches 335 and won the state championship in the discus throwing it 190 feet. Not sure how that works, never threw it, but he won the state, so it must be pretty good.
Some other interesting news is that we have a four-star running back visiting us this weekend. Four-star Tre Bryant out of St. Louis will be in Nashville to see Coach Mason and the coaches. Tre is 5’11”, 195 and I watched his film, and he’s highly impressive. Great runner. Runs hard, runs tough and can definitely make house calls. Looks 4.4 speed-wise.
Derek and the coaches are doing some serious work right now.
