Jamil Kamara’s first scholarship offer came during his freshman year, when he was offered by the University of Virginia. The 6’2″, 195-pound wide receiver prospect, now just weeks from finishing up his sophomore year, claims 10 other offers now as well.
“It’s real nice,” Kamara said, speaking of the success he has enjoyed on the recruiting front. Boston College, Illinois, Marshall, Miami, N.C. State, Vanderbilt, Virginia and Virginia Tech are the major FBS schools that have offered so far. “I appreciate everything I get. I’ve worked very hard for it.”

“I can go up and get the ball. That’s the number one thing [college coaches say they like],” Kamara said. “I have good hands. I have above average speed for my size. I’m bigger than most receivers.”
