early-career Bearcat with intriguing edge-to-DL upside
In the 2025 season, Kamron Neal logged 5 tackles for Cincinnati as a freshman, and his profile suggests a physical, developmental defensive lineman with real room to grow. He arrived as a consensus three-star prospect and a top-60 edge recruit, then added useful size at 6-foot-2 and 268 pounds, giving him the frame to play with leverage and power. The appeal is upside: he’s still young in the position, has a strong academic/character reputation, and fits a Bearcats front that values activity and versatility. He’s more projection than finished product, but the arrow points up.
