J'mari Monette brings size and depth to Indiana’s defensive line
In the 2025 season, Indiana listed J'mari Monette at 6-3, 286 pounds as a redshirt junior DL, and he logged 3 tackles across 6 games before entering the transfer portal in January 2026.[1][11] His value is in his frame and interior size more than splashy production right now, making him a plug-and-occupy-body type who can help against the run if a staff wants physical depth up front.[1][11] The catch: he has not yet turned that build into consistent on-field impact, so he fits best as a developmental rotational piece rather than an instant headline-maker.[11][13]
