BREAKING: 2026 Three-Star DL Cam Brickle Commits To Ohio State!
Powerful Three‑Star IMG DL Cam Brickle Bolsters Ohio State’s 2026 Trenches
COLUMBUS, OHIO — The Buckeyes have landed one of the top DL in the country. They have landed a commitment from 2026 Three-Star DL Cam Brickle out of IMG Academy. He was one of the Buckeyes top defensive line targets in this cycle. Larry Johnson has certainly started to wake up.
Brickle originally attended Malvern Prep in Pennsylvania. He then transferred down to Florida and now attends IMG Academy. The Buckeyes are going to love Brickle’s playstyle.
The Cam Brickle Profile:
Brickle picked Ohio State over Penn State, Maryland, Florida State, and others. The 6’2 305lbs DL is certainly one underrated prospect. He attends IMG Academy located in Bradenton, Florida. He held offers from other programs as well.
Scouting Report:
He has explosiveness off the line and just bursts into making disruption. He has a ton of raw athleticism and built with a lot of power. He also is versatile, and can be used on the line anywhere. Despite that, he just needs to develop his pass rush moves some more and he can be elite. A big run stuff guy.
Don’t let his star or rankings fool you. Brickle is way better than advertised and could finish a four-star prospect.
Rankings:
ON3 - N/A NATL, 76 DL, 122 FL
247Sports - N/A NATL, 52 DL, 49 FL
Rivals - N/A NATL, 49 DL, N/A FL
ESPN - N/A NATL, 31 DL, 12 FL
The Commitment Chase:
Brickle has been sought after by Larry Johnson and his staff for quite some time. Penn State was the biggest threat this recruitment, and it all came down to other decisions. Penn State came close with landing Brickle, but the Buckeyes landed an absolute monster in the trenches.
