developmental Hoosier linebacker with a blue-blood bloodline
Amari Kamara enters 2026 as a redshirt freshman linebacker for Indiana, listed at 5-11 and 202 pounds, and he’s still in the developmental lane rather than the featured one.[1][13][14] The intrigue is the family pedigree and work ethic: he’s the younger brother of Indiana All-American Mikail Kamara, came out of Stone Bridge after piling up 104 tackles and 2.0 sacks as a senior in 2024, and coaches are treating him as a long-term piece who may need a season to grow into Big Ten physicality.[1][10][14]
