Mile High Report
In this week’s installment of Future Broncos, Christopher Hart gives you three more prospects to watch in Week 13 of College Football.
We are entering the final stretch of the College Football Season’s regular schedule before the playoffs begin. Week 13 of the College Football Season is here. For today’s installment of Future Broncos, I give you three more prospects for Broncos Country to scout and put on your respective draft wish list’s if you haven’t already.
Mikail Kamara, Edge — Indiania Hoosiers
One of the great storylines of this year has been the turnaround of the Hoosiers program under Curt Cignetti. After five years at James Madison, Cignetti took over the reins at Indiania and vowed to turn them into a winning program. And the biggest surprise? How quickly he delivered on that message.
They are 10-0 on the season and the fifth-ranked program in the nation. Today they face off in a premier Big Ten matchup against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Could a little bit of magic happen on the field today? Stranger things have happened, but this game is a must-watch for all college football fans.
One player that followed him from James Madison and has been integral to their success was defensive end/edge rusher Mikail Kamara. For his 2023 efforts with 52 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks, the former three-star recruit earned All-Sun Belt honors. The uptick in competition hasn’t slowed down Kamara this year. To date, he has put up 39 tackles, 9.5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles on the season.
At 6’1” and 240 pounds, Kamara might not have the desired size or length for an edge rusher, but he makes up for his lack of physique with a great first step off the line of scrimmage. His size is comparable to former Bronco Shaquil Barrett. On top of that, he sports a relentless motor that never goes down a notch at any point in the game. He’s a plus run defender and one of the draft’s most premier pass rushers.
Kamara’s multiple torn labrum injuries will require more diligence at the NFL Combine and during the pre-draft circuit, but there’s no doubting he has been one of college football’s biggest rising draft prospects this season.
Armand Membou, RT — Missouri Tigers
Over the past few weeks, I talked about several players on the South Carolina Gamecocks roster in T.J. Sanders and Kyle Kennard. After watching last week’s matchup against Missouri, one particular player for the Tigers really stood out for me keeping their pass rushers at bay—right tackle Armand Membou.
If there are two words to describe his play, I’d use mauler and brawler. At 6’3” and 314 pounds, he is a heavy load for opposing defenders to handle. He has started every game for the Tigers since the final five of their 2022 campaign and has been a standout player and tone-setter for them on offense. He’s widely regarded as one of the most athletic offensive linemen in this...
