Evaluation: Part of the JMU-to-Indiana mass exodus that arrived with head coach Curt Cignetti, no player was more vital in the Hoosiers turnaround than Kamara. The vocal leader of the team also led the FBS with 68 quarterback pressures. His relentless motor is a nightmare for opposing offensive linemen. During his first season in the B1G, Kamara registered 47 tackles, including 15 tackles for loss and 10 sacks. His production earned him First Team All-Big Ten honors. While Kamara lacks prototype size, he compensates with an explosive first step, wins with pad level and demonstrates extraordinary bend around the edge. He combats opponents with fierce hand quickness similar to that of Sugar Ray Leonard and can counter with various rush moves.
