NFL Draft: Top Mountain West Prospects
Mohamed Kamara, EDGE, Colorado State
Kamara, a 6-foot-1, 250-pound defensive lineman, was a HERO Sports G5 Preseason All-American after totaling 8.5 sacks and 44 tackles in 2022.
He earned 2023 HERO Sports G5 College Football All-American honors after recording 13 sacks, 17 tackles for loss, and 56 tackles this past season.
Dallin Holker, TE, Colorado State
After transferring from BYU to Colorado State, Holker led all FBS tight ends during 2023’s regular season with 767 yards and 64 catches to go with six touchdowns. His yardage total was the second-most by a Rams tight end ever, and he was third in CSU history in receptions.
That led to him earning second-team All-American accolades, as he was a HERO Sports Group of Five All-American first-teamer.
Holker proved how great he could be once he was given an opportunity. He might be one of the first five tight ends off the board in the NFL Draft.
