It was a bit of a surprise commitment and represented a shining moment for Oregon State Beavers football recruiting.

With hats for Alabama, Nebraska, Notre Dame and Washington State also on the at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, 247Sports four-star wide receiver Jamire Calvin picked the orange Beavers hat and committed to Oregon State on national television.

But Calvin's recruitment may not be over.

In an interview with Omaha World-Herald, Yana Johnson, Calvin's mother, indicated that he is still strongly considering Nebraska, and switched to the Beavers largely because of concerns about getting his family to games.

"It's something we're trying to work through, how we'd be able to travel for the games," Johnson said. "It's not personal. It's more of an issue of how we are going to get there. If we can't go see him play in any games, then what is it all for?"

Johnson later added that a final decision would be made on Signing Day.

Calvin is one of three four-star commitments in Oregon State's 2017 recruiting class, joining early enrollee junior college defensive tackle Craig Evans and wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins.

Losing Calvin would cost the Beavers their highest-rated recruit not already on campus.

For now, Calvin is committed to Oregon State, but it seems his commitment will be one to watch until Signing Day.
