Nebraska football made the top group for 2026 defensive back Camren Hamiel on Friday afternoon. Texas A&M, Oregon, Michigan, Arizona State, Penn State, and Tennessee also made the final cut.
According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Hamiel is the 45th-ranked corner in the 2026 class and the fifth-ranked player in his class in Arizona. He was most recently offered by Iowa on February 6 and is said to visit Arizona State officially on April 4.
According to statistics from Maxpreps.com, he had 50 tackles in the 2024 season, along with three interceptions, three pass deflections, and a blocked field goal.
Nebraska has done a good job of addressing the quarterback position this season. They’ve made several additions in the transfer portal including, Andrew Marshall and Jamir Conn. With that being said, continuing to add depth is certainly a smart move. Hamiel measures in at six-foot-one and could develop as a strong outside corner.
It will certainly be interesting to see where Nebraska ranks in this recruitment. Although they will undoubtedly face competition, they have been on a hot streak recently.
