Nearly halfway through the 2008 football season, USF has made an addition to their roster in walk-on receiver Eddie Cameron, a transfer from Oklahoma State who is sitting out this season as required by NCAA rules.

Cameron, a Pompano Beach native who will have two years of eligibility with the Bulls starting in 2009, is 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds and will wear jersey No. 88. He redshirted in 2006 and did not catch any passes last season at Oklahoma State.

I'd actually traded e-mails with Cameron in late August when I'd first heard he might be joining the program. "OSU was a great experience, just had to find a better niche," Cameron wrote at the time. Not much about Cameron online -- there's a reference to him in spring 2007 here -- but he was named an honorable mention All-Broward County selection by the Miami Herald as a senior at Ely in 2005. He also competed in basketball and track at Ely and was nominated for scholar-athlete honors by the Herald, which reported him carrying a 4.15 grade-point average.
