He's currently unranked, but Atlanta (Ga.) Tri-Cities defensive tackle Cameron Ball is approaching 30 scholarship offers while some of the biggest names in college football are currently in the midst of evaluating him. Seeing some intriguing things on film, Wisconsin is one of those programs that recently placed Ball on the radar.
"I felt a little bit of joy, because I grew up watching Wisconsin," Ball told Badger247. "I never thought they'd be interested in me. They have a really good program.
"They had a running back, Montee Ball, with the same last name as me. I grew up watching him. If they offered, I'd be interested."
Ball has offers from Arizona State, Arkansas, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Michigan State, Mississippi State, Purdue, UCF, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest among others. He said the Yellow Jackets have been recruiting him the hardest at this point.
"I would say who's making the biggest push for me at the moment would be Georgia Tech," he said. "It's a good program. I have a good relationship with the coaches. That was my first big time offer. It's 30 minutes from my home."
Ball is being recruited as both an offensive lineman and defensive tackle. Schools trying to land the 6-foot-5, 290-pound junior on defense will have the edge.
"I would say half are for d-line and half are for o-line," he said. "Personally, I prefer to play d-line. I'm listening to what the offensive line coaches have to say, but I know what I want to play."
Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Minnesota, Boston College, Texas Tech, and TCU are also showing interest in Ball this spring. Ball said he could release a top 10 list now, but will hold off on that, knowing that his offer list could change drastically.
"At the moment, I have a top 10 in my head," said Ball. "I'm not ready to release it yet. As the year goes on, I'll get more offers and I'll be interested in more schools. I don't want to drop a top 10 because I feel like bigger and better schools will come.
"I'm not going to put my recruitment on hold though, hoping for this offer when I have these other schools who have offered."
Ball plans to begin using his official visits in the summer, but likely won't make a decision until after his senior season.
"I might take one or two in the summer," he said. "I'll probably take them before the season and then after the season.
"Academics is key, that's number one. If the school has my major. I would say weather, how far it is from my home, and I want to play my freshman year."
