IU edge rusher Mikail Kamara put together an All-American worthy resume in 2024, and he received that recognition on Monday.
The redshirt junior was named an AP third-team All-American.
A 12-game starter, Kamara ended the regular season ranked No. 2 in the Big Ten in sacks (10.0) and tackles for loss (15.0). He finished atop the Big Ten and No. 2 in the Power 4 in total pressures (64) per Pro Football Focus.
The Virginia product totaled 44 total tackles with multiple tackles in 11 of 12 games.
“Mikail is the hardest worker on the defense,” defensive coordinator Bryant Haines said on Monday.
Kamara’s season sack total ranks tied for No. 5 on the IU single-season charts with retired NFL star Adewale Ogunleye (10.0; 1997). He posted the first double-digit sacks in a season by a Hoosier since Jammie Kirlew in 2008 (10.5). He posted a tackle for loss in nine of 12 games in 2024 and 30 of 35 career games.
Kamara also forced two fumbles and recovered three fumbles.
