One of Pennsylvania's top junior defensive lineman will be heading down to the Sunshine State for his senior campaign.

2026 4-star defensive stalwart Cameron Brickle II announced on X Thursday evening that he will be transferring from Malvern Prep (Pennsylvania) to IMG Academy. Brickle II has Power 4 offers from schools like Alabama, Georgia, Miami (FL), Michigan, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, Texas and a host of others.

Here's what 247Sports' Greg Biggins has to say about Brickle II:

Only played in three games as a sophomore due to a transfer and injury but was dominant in limited action. Was an impact interior lineman and you can see his natural ability. He's a powerful kid with heavy hands and knocks guys backward. Has quick feet in the box and plays behind the line of scrimmage. Strong at the point of attack and can move well laterally. Can disengage from a blocker and shows the ability to run down plays from behind. He's a true nose guard who can take on double teams and still make plays. The upside is high and Brickle is an early high Power 4 prospect with the talent to play for anyone at the next level.
