Cameron Seldon, 4-star WR out of Virginia, makes SEC commitment

Cameron Seldon, a 4-star wide receiver out of Heathsville, Virginia (Northumberland), has made a commitment to play in the SEC.

Seldon announced on CBS Sports HQ his pledge to Tennessee after he was recruited to the Vols by Kelsey Pope and Alex Golesh. Seldon chose Tennessee over Maryland and Penn State. Seldon is listed at 6-foot-1 and 220 pounds, and considered an athlete by the 247Sports Composite, where he is ranked No. 7 at that position, and the No. 2 player overall in the class of 2023.

Seldon says he will play a combination of running back, receiver and kick/punt return on the next level. He is one of the fastest players in the class and will play in the All-American Bowl following his senior season. Seldon clocked a 10.74 in the 100m dash to win the Virginia state championship in the spring, per 247Sports.

“It’s a great fit,” Seldon told GoVols247. “Feels at home, there were no cons. There is no cons and everything but it feels like the right fit, feels like home.”

Seldon is the No. 15 commitment for the Vols, which have the No. 7 class in the country, and the SEC.
