'Brynn does not want to get married' to Cardinals QB, father says

Southern California's Brynn Cameron will miss the upcoming season because she is expecting a baby with Arizona Cardinals and former USC star quarterback Matt Leinart.

LOS ANGELES - Southern California basketball player Brynn Cameron will miss the upcoming season because she is expecting a baby with Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart, according to her father.

Cameron is due to deliver a boy in November, Stan Cameron told the Ventura County Star for Wednesday’s editions.

Cameron, a 20-year-old junior guard, and Leinart dated while he attended USC. He graduated in December and was drafted by the Cardinals in April.

Asked Wednesday about Cameron, Leinart said, “I’m not going to comment.”

In the past, he has declined comment on other personal information.

Cameron and Leinart reportedly broke up last year but still talk frequently, according to Stan Cameron, who spoke to the newspaper from out of state.

“Brynn does not want to get married,” he said. “She wants to finish school and let Matt do his thing and then figure it out.”

Cameron said his daughter, who graduated from Newbury Park High in Ventura County, doesn’t want to comment until after the baby is born.

“It might not be the best timing in the world, but we are obviously very happy to have a new baby in the family,” Stan Cameron said. “Brynn just found out about a month ago and told the team on Monday.”

USC announced Tuesday that Cameron would sit out this season for undisclosed personal reasons.

She averaged 9.8 points as a freshman starter for USC but appeared in only 13 games last season after undergoing a second surgery on her hip.

“Once the baby is born, she wants to get back to playing basketball again and finish school,” Stan Cameron said. “I know Brynn will make a great mom. Things will be fine. It will be fun.”
