Mr. Kaminski is one of a handful of underclassmen that have a very bright future for the roadrunners. This young man finished the day with 1 reception for 19 yards, 10 tackles, and 3.0 TFLs being a force on the defensive front. Throughout the entire game he was shooting gaps to disrupt plays in the backfield and blew up a few plays for a big loss. He can also slip blocks well using his active hands to be a menace in his pass rush and in run support. There’s no doubt as to why he’s a P5 recruit holding offers from University of Wisconsin and University of Illinois.
