Four-star defensive lineman <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/cameron-mchaney-239126/">Cameron McHaney</a> is among the next crop of prospects to come out of the high school football powerhouse <a href="https://www.on3.com/high-school/img-academy-10624/">IMG Academy</a> (Fla.) following the upcoming season. The Greenwood, Ind. native is also nearing his college commitment.



On Monday, the 6-foot-0.5, 315-pounder told On3 that he’s set to announce his decision on July 1. He will choose between <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/illinois-fighting-illini/">Illinois</a>, <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/indiana-hoosiers/">Indiana</a>, <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/louisville-cardinals/">Louisville</a>, <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/purdue-boilermakers/">Purdue</a> and <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/vanderbilt-commodores/">Vanderbilt</a>.



McHaney is the No. 395 overall prospect and No. 37 DL in the 2026 cycle, according to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/football/2026/">On3 Industry Ranking</a>, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 57 player in Florida. 



The two-time state champion tallied 39 total tackles as a junior for IMG last season, according to <a href="https://www.maxpreps.com/fl/bradenton/img-academy-ascenders/athletes/cameron-mchaney/football/stats/?careerid=a3i058v84t2l5">MaxPreps</a>. As he gears up for an important senior campaign, he’s also taking official visits as he works toward a decision.



McHaney has announced officials to each of his finalists aside from Louisville. Vandy is set for the weekend of May 30, with Illinois, Purdue and Indiana set to follow each of the following three June weekends.

The Ascenders are coming off a 7-2 season in 2024, where they finished as the No. 22 team in the nation and No. 4 team in Florida, according to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/high-school/rankings/football/national/">On3 Composite Rankings</a>. Expectations will be high once again this fall in Bradenton, with players like McHaney expected to help carry the load.



A slew of blue-chip seniors are featured throughout the roster. Four-star EDGE <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jake-kreul-155994/">Jake Kreul</a> is the top-ranked member of the roster, checking in as the No. 38 recruit nationally. Four-star offensive tackle <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/keenyi-pepe-150590/">Keenyi Pepe</a> (USC commit) and four-star safety <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/zech-fort-154332/">Zech Fort</a> (Georgia) are also top-200 prospects.



McHaney will be a part of a stout defensive line, manning the interior alongside four-star <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/preston-carey-155705/">Preston Carey</a> and others. Other top recruits on the roster include four-star interior offensive lineman <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/breck-kolojay-174189/">Breck Kolojay</a>, three-star IOL <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/gnivre-carr-176416/">G’Nivre Carr</a>, three-star safety <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/amari-jones-154114/">Amari Jones</a>, three-star safety <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/ksani-jiles-145121/">Ksani Jiles</a>, three-star tight end <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/kekua-aumua-239168/">Kekua Aumua</a> and a slew of blue-chip incoming juniors.
