Camar Wheaton, one of the top running backs in the 2021 class and the No. 9 prospect in the Preseason SI99, trimmed his college list to three late Monday night.
CAMAR WHEATON'S SI ALL-AMERICAN BIO
Oklahoma, LSU and Alabama made Wheaton’s cut, meaning he has dropped Texas from consideration. The Longhorns had been widely considered a leading contender for the Garland, TX prospect.
Wheaton rushed for 1,142 yards and 15 touchdowns last year at Lakeview Centennial High School. He’s the Dallas Morning News’ No. 3 overall player in the Metroplex area.
Wheaton teased a top two earlier Monday, but then changed course slightly just after midnight and revealed his top three instead.
Wheaton attended last weekend’s Sooner Summit with a handful of other top uncommitted prospects, where he was photographed throwing the “horns down” sign — apparently a good indicator that he would be eliminating the Longhorns.
