Cameron Lenhardt recommits to Nebraska at UA All-American game
Cameron Lenhardt is back. The 2023 four-star defensive edge from Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy recommitted to Nebraska after he decommited following the head coaching change in September.
Lenhardt committed to Nebraska for a second time during the fourth quarter of the Under Armour All-American game on ESPN2 on Jan. 3.
The Staten Island, New York native initially committed to Nebraska under previous Head Coach Scott Frost, defensive coordinator Erik Chinander and defensive line coach Mike Dawson. Lenhardt announced his decommitment from the Huskers on Sept. 18, the day Chinander was let go.
“I want to thank Coach Dawson and Coach Chin especially for giving me this opportunity,” he said on Twitter. “I have to protect myself as an athlete so please respect my decision. This was not an easy decision but this is a decision that will affect my life’s path.”
The 6-foot-2, 230-pound edge has pledged himself to Nebraska again just days before the early signing period. This time, Head Coach Matt Rhule and defensive coordinator Tony White are at the helm.
Lenhardt took another official visit to Nebraska to discuss the new staff’s vision on Dec. 16. He must have seen himself fitting in there nicely.
The edge took unofficial visits at seven schools including Penn State, Michigan State, Florida, Notre Dame, Florida State and more. Lenhardt officially visited Nebraska in June and again in December. He took an official visit to Maryland on December 16th.

Lenhardt is the third edge in the Huskers’ class of 2023. He joins 6-foot-4, 230-pound pass rusher Maverick Noonan from Elkhorn South and recent commit, Kai Wallin. Wallin stands at 6-foot-6, 235-pounds and is from Jesuit High School in Carmichael, California.
