Could be #1 recruit. Coach O recently visited him.
Article in Houston Chronicle

It’s hard to miss a 6-foot-4, 312 pound stud offensive lineman when he walks through the halls at Atascocita High School.
Kameron Dewberry, who is one of the most sought after recruits in the nation, is used to standing out for his size in addition to his play on the field.

“It’s a blessing and a curse — it’s both,” Dewberry said. “For some people just to see you as a recruit like fans they go crazy and don’t see me as an actual person. But it’s a blessing to be highly favored like that by a lot of people. I like the attention and all but sometimes I do miss the times being a kid.”

Enjoying the process

Dewberry, who prefers to go by Kam, follows a long line of blue chip Atascocita lineman like Texas standout Samuel Cosmi and former five-star recruit Kenyon Green.

Although he received his fifth star from Rivals this year, the rising junior is still a teenager who just earned his learning permit. He has offers from a laundry list of top football programs, such as Alabama, Florida and Ohio State.
In addition to sorting through a long list of college scholarship offers, he’s busy trying to convince his parents D’Andre Wilson and Chelisse Wilson to buy him a car so he can drive to school.
After a long day of school, practice and homework he likes to head over the Wingstop in Atascocita and get some boneless wings. Maybe a 16 count with some fries and a drink on a good day.
“This dude can put down some food,” his dad said. “He doesn’t like chicken wings with bones in them. He’s more of a boneless guy. He always says that you get more meat, but I tell him it’s nothing but a glorified chicken nugget.”

At night you can find him online playing Madden against his good friend Tyras Winfield. His parents are trying to help him continue being a typical teenager for as long as possible.
“I always tell him to enjoy the process that you’re going through, but remember that you’re just a kid,” D’Andre Wilson said. “Whenever he wants to hangout with his friends, go to the mall, go to the movies and other things I tell him to go have some fun.”

Breaking the mold
Dewberry said he is asked a lot of questions but the one he hates the most is being compared to Green and hearing that he’s the next great lineman out of Atascocita. He rolls his eyes, but he will be respectful and answer the question.
“I don’t like the comparisons,” Dewberry said. “I really want to make my own name for myself. I like to make my own route, make my own road. I just want to be able to create my own story, you know. I want to be one of the best linemen to come through Atascocita.”
Assistant Todd Moses coached several talented offensive linemen at Atascocita before Dewberry arrived.
For instance, four out of the five lineman from last year’s team are heading to college in Jer’Marques Bailey (University of New Mexico), Will Jones (Sam Houston State), Trent Hickman (Blinn JC) and Canon Thomas (Texas Weslayn).

This year Dewberry is the only lineman that currently has Division I offer. However, he hopes to help develop the next crop like his predecessors did with him.
The offensive line tradition goes back to when Amon Simon played with Cosmi, then Cosmi played with Green and then Green played with Dewberry.
Dewberry has a chance to be the best of that group, Moses said.
“I don’t know, (but) he has the potential and tools to be (the best),” the offensive line coach said. “The bar is set so high because we have guys who have the potential to go play in the NFL. The potential is there, and he’s very football savvy. His learning curve on the football field is pretty good, and he’s a sharp kid.”
Recruiting process
This was supposed to be a big summer for Dewberry as he was looking forward to traveling around the country to see some of the premier programs in the country.

The blue-chip prospect’s plans got canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it’s given him a chance to really do research on schools.
“Just because I can’t go anywhere doesn’t mean that I can’t still look at schools,” Dewberry said. “The time that I have right now, I can really look at what schools have to offer. My parents have been very supportive during this recruiting process, and I don’t know how I would do it without them.”
Several recruiting websites have Dewberry as the No. 1 overall lineman in the 2022 recruiting class and there is a potential he could be the No. 1 player in the country when he becomes a senior, but time will tell.
When Dewberry stepped into the halls at Atascocita he already had an offer from Baylor.
Now, he has 26 offers from colleges that include LSU, Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M. More offers are sure to pour in as he gets prepared for his junior season.

It’s not every day when National Champion head coach Ed Orgeron from LSU walks into the weight room.
“It was crazy when Coach O came by,” Dewberry said. “My teammates and I were all just shocked that someone like that came to see me and my teammates. This is really a blessing and humbling by this whole situation I’m in. Coaches really come down to see me, my coaches, teammates, and our programs. That gets me to put my teammates out there with certain coaches to get their recruiting started. Whatever I can do to help my teammates I’m going to do that.”
He has met with high caliber head coaches, such as Ohio State’s Ryan Day, Texas’ Tom Herman, Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher and Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley. Dewberry would like to commit by the summer heading into his senior season.

Don’t ask about what schools he likes best, who’s in the lead and what not.
He’s focused on bring the first football state championship to Atascocita and the recruiting will take its own path. His college choice will be a life choice, he said.
“This is probably one of the biggest decisions in my life, and I’m only 16,” Dewberry said. “This isn’t just a four-year decision. It’s a 40-year decision. I have to look and see what school is going to help me for the rest of my life.”

He looks solid but he is currently just outside the top 10 for OT and barely top 20 overall in Texas. Why say he might be #1 overall?

Rivals has him as one of ten 5 stars for 2022, and this is informing the possibility. Could be either right or wrong, but there is a basis.
