Their success is starting to pay off on the recruiting trail and on Friday, they landed their first commitment in the class of 2016 when 4-Star wide receiver Cameron Chambers gave his pledge to the Spartans. The 6’3, 195-pounder is from Sicklerville, New Jersey and attends Timber Creek High School.

“Obviously, his size, his route-running (stand out),” Timber Creek head coach Rob Hinson said. “He’s catching the ball better now and he ran track and got more explosive. He’s a pretty complete receiver at the high school level. He’s become a more explosive athlete where he’s not longer just a big 10th grade kid with a great body. He’s really an explosive kid right now.”

Chambers is the country’s 23rd-ranked wide receiver prospect, the fourth-ranked prospect from the state of New Jersey and the 105th-ranked prospect in the class of 2016 according to 24/7 Sports’ composite rankings. Chambers also holds offers from the Alabama Crimson Tide, Arkansas Razorbacks, Boston College Eagles and Florida Gators, among otherss.

Chambers announced his commitment via twitter and drew high praise from his future head coach.
