Goodyear (Ariz.) Desert Edge four-star cornerback Camren Hamiel is the No. 1 recruit in Arizona this cycle. He’s now down to four schools.

The 6-foot-1, 175-pounder announced on Friday that Nebraska, Oregon, Penn State and Texas A&M are his final four. Additionally, he’s confirmed his upcoming official visit schedule.

He’ll head to Penn State next weekend and then see Nebraska (June 6), Oregon (June 13) and A&M (June 20) next month. A commitment will likely come after for the blue-chip defensive back.

Hamiel is the No. 263 overall prospect and No. 24 corner in the 2026 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

As a junior for Desert Edge, Hamiel logged 50 total tackles, three interceptions, three pass breakups, a sack and a blocked field goal. The Scorpions won 10 games last season and finished as a top-25 team in the state, per the On3 Composite Rankings.

Hamiel talks Oregon, PSU, Texas A&M

Arizona State, Tennessee and Michigan are the schools that did not make the move from Hamiel’s top seven to his top four. When speaking with On3’s Chad Simmons at the end of April, he dished on what has three of his now finalists at the top of his process:

Oregon: “I love coach Lanning’s story and how Oregon looks. I was surprised by how it was there, the environment and all of that. It is a great program and I saw that it is a great place when I was there this spring.”

Penn State: “Penn State has a tradition of having a great defense. It is something I can see that I can see myself in. It is a school I haven’t visited yet, so it will be good to get up there.”

Texas A&M: “Texas A&M is a school I have visited twice and they make it feel like a second family. They treat me like I am already part of a team and coach BGA (Bryant Gross-Armiento) is a great coach.”

“I plan to commit around the middle of summer after my official visits,” he previously said. “When I finish the visits, I will sit down with my family, coach and agent, then talk it over and that will lead to my commitment.”
