Top 2024 Notre Dame WR target Cam Williams locks in commitment date
Glen Ellyn (Ill.) Glenbard South’s Cam Williams, the No. 121 overall prospect and No. 17 wide receiver according to the 2024 On3 Consensus, announced his top-five schools and commitment date on Wednesday afternoon.
The 6-2, 175-pounder will choose between Cincinnati, Iowa, Michigan, Notre Dame and Wisconsin on June 29 at 8 p.m. ET. The commitment announcement can be watched live on CBS Sports HQ.
Michigan was considered the team to beat early on in Williams’ recruitment, but Notre Dame has surged for the four-star playmaker out of Chicagoland. The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) favors the Irish at 94.2 percent.
Notre Dame wide receivers coach Chansi Stuckey and offensive coordinator Tommy Rees have led the charge in Williams’ recruitment. Rees offered Williams after seeing him in person in May during the spring evaluation period, and Stuckey coached Williams during Notre Dame’s Irish Invasion camp June 5.

“At first, I didn’t plan on camping, but I was invested in Coach [Chansi] Stuckey’s way of teaching,” Williams previously told Blue & Gold. “I wanted to be coached by Coach Stuckey to see if I like him as a coach like I do as a person.
“I really enjoyed his coaching and teaching throughout the camp, as he was giving me pointers on how to improve.”
Williams’ combination of size, speed, soft hands and route running ability made him a top offensive performer at Irish Invasion per Blue & Gold.
“I feel I had a pretty good camp in terms of competition and numbers,” Williams added. “The main feedback I received was from Coach Stuckey, going over releases as the day went on then applying them to the field, which he was super helpful in terms of making sure I did it right.”
On3’s own rankings list Williams as the No. 136 overall prospect and No. 17 wide receiver in America.
Williams has an NIL Valuation of $64,000, which slots him at No. 265 in the high school football NIL rankings. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
