Indiana defensive line and 2026 NFL prospect Mikail Kamara feels the Hoosiers are focused on building a dynasty.
Kamara made this clear to reporters at the Hoosiers’ Pro Day. The defensive lineman said the goal is to make Indiana like Alabama but not like the current Alabama football program. The Hoosiers want to look like the ‘old bama’ in particular, according to Kamara.
“Hopefully we can turn this into like Bama, old Bama,” Kamara told reporters. “Coach Cig and the rest of the staff is really great at developing players, not just developing players, but also recruiting the right guys, who have the work ethic and who have the drive to come in every single day and try to get better. So at the end of the day, this race that we all have as football players is just who wants to get better every single day.”
This comment comes after Indiana defeated Alabama in the College Football Playoff and went on to win the College Football National Championship. The Hoosiers beat the Tide 38-3 in the Rose Bowl.
Both programs are currently going through spring practice and have goals of making the College Football Playoff again in 2026.
Cam Wade earned an Alabama football offer earlier this week and locked in a return visit date for an official.
Wade is a 2027 recruit, and he attends Paducah Tilghman High School in Paducah, Kentucky. Alabama is the latest program to offer the junior, but he holds previous offers from Florida, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Maryland and others.
The Kentucky product said earning an Alabama offer means a lot to him.
“As a kid growing up watching college football, you always dreamed about Alabama,” Wade said. “Just a wonderful experience, and I’m grateful.”
Wade was on campus for a visit when he earned his offer from the Tide, and the visit was a success.
“You can feel the intensity as soon as you walk in the door,” Wade told Touchdown Alabama. “I loved that, also how close the coaching staff was with each other was also great.”
Alabama will get Wade on campus on the weekend of May 29-31 for his official visit.
Wade is an explosive wide receiver with proven speed. He holds a PR of 10.6 in the 100-meter dash and a 21.6 in the 200-meter dash. This speed translates over to the field, and it makes him dangerous in different aspects of the game.
