Jalen Kamara, Indiana's defensive lineman, was named a third-team All-American by the Associated Press. This is a significant achievement for Kamara, marking the first time since 2007 that an Indiana defensive lineman has received this recognition.
Indiana defensive lineman, Jalen Kamara, has earned third-team All-American honors from the Associated Press. He is the first Hoosiers' defensive lineman to be named All-American since Greg Middleton in 2007. Kamara is Indiana's only representative on the AP's All-American first, second or third teams, though coach Curt Cignetti was named national coach of the year.
Through 12 regular season games, Kamara has 44 tackles and leads the Hoosiers with 15 tackles for loss, 10 sacks and six quarterback hits. Kamara's 10 sacks are tied for the fifth most in a single season in program history with Adewale Ogunleye in 1997, and it's the most since Jammie Kirlew's 10.5 sacks during the 2008 season. Kamara was named to the first-team All-Big Ten after ranking second in the conference in sacks and tackles for loss. Among FBS edge rushers with at least 400 snaps, Kamara has the 10th-highest grade for defense (89.4), according to Pro Football Focus, and he ranks eighth in pass rush grade (90.1). His 61 total pressures are tied for the second most in the country. Indiana honored Kamara on Senior Day against Purdue, the final regular season game of his fifth collegiate season. But due to previous redshirt seasons, Kamara has remaining eligibility to return to college for the 2025 season
