Southern Miss DB Cameron O’Neal: early-season playmaker with ball-hawking upside
In the 2026 season, Cameron O’Neal has already flashed impact-play ability for Southern Miss, with 3 solo tackles and 1 forced fumble to start the year, the kind of disruptive profile that coaches love in a DB. He brings a strong recruiting pedigree, a physical 6-foot, 206-pound frame, and a history of production that includes 97 tackles, 11 pass breakups, and 5 forced fumbles in high school, plus a reputation for special-teams grit. If your team needs a tough, instinctive defensive back who can tackle and create chaos, he fits the bill.
