Cardinals QB Leinart to become a father

Leinart's beau due in November says her family

LOS ANGELES -- University of 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.\nCameron is due to deliver a boy in November, Stan Cameron told the Ventura County Star for Wednesday's editions.\nCameron, 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.\nAsked Wednesday about Cameron, Leinart said, "I'm not going to comment."\nIn the past, he has declined comment on other personal information.\nCameron and Leinart reportedly broke up last year but still talk frequently, according to Stan Cameron, who spoke to the newspaper from out of state.\n"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."\nCameron said his daughter, who graduated from Newbury Park High in Ventura County, doesn't want to comment until after the baby is born.\n"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."\nUSC announced Tuesday that Cameron would sit out this season for undisclosed personal reasons.\nShe 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.\n"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"
