Rams pick Miami S Kamren Kinchens in 3rd round of 2024 NFL draft. What to know
The Los Angeles Rams selected Miami safety Kamren Kinchens with the 99th pick of the 2024 NFL draft. The junior earned back-to-back All-ACC First team honors in two seasons as a starter at Miami. Here’s what to know about Kinchens.
Kamren Kinchens scouting report
Kinchens was elite in his sophomore year, earning All-American and All-ACC First Team honors in 2022. He continued the strong play in 2023 with another All-ACC First Team nod because of his nose for the ball and toughness, despite missing two games with a head/neck injury. He’s a hard hitter, and is capable in run support. But NFL scouts are concerned with his lack of speed, and he has gotten mixed up in zone coverage before. But his instincts and ability to force takeaways make him an intriguing prospect for pro teams despite a lackluster day at the NFL combine.
Kamren Kinchens height, weight
Kinchens, who is from Miami and went to Miami Northwestern (Fla.) High School, is 5-foot-11 and 203 pounds.
Kamren Kinchens college stats
Kinchens tallied 162 tackles, including 99 solo tackles, in 34 games as a Hurricane. He also snagged 11 interceptions and broke up 26 passes in three years. Five of those picks and 10 of those pass breakups came in his junior campaign.
Kamren Kinchens highlights
Kinchens erupted for nine solo tackles, one sack, two tackles for loss and two pass breakups against North Carolina, and combined for 11 solo tackles in back-to-back games against Florida State and Louisville. He had at least one pass breakup and one interception for three weeks in a row against Clemson, Virginia and NC State, and had at least six total tackles in two-thirds of games played last year.
Kamren Kinchens NFL combine measurables
Kinchens and fellow Hurricane James Williams tied for the slowest 40-yard dash (4.65) and 10-yard split (1.59) times among DBs. His 35 inch vertical ranked in the bottom third of his position group, and his 9-foot-2 broad jump ranked last out of 20 DBs that participated.
The contact period for 2028 recruits officially opened on June 15th, and Miami has been active on the recruiting trail.
Now more than ever, recruiting players early matters, with several committing before taking their official visits in their senior season.
Miami has been high on 2028 running back Terriel Harmon for a while, and he discussed the Hurricanes with Miami Hurricanes on SI.

The Hurricanes contacted Harmon almost immediately after the contact period opened and got down to business with him.
“The running backs coach (Coach Merritt) hit me up, and we just talked about the leadership I am going to bring to Miami and the environment of Miami,” Harmon said.
Even before the contact period opened up, Harmon already had a sense of what Miami was like.
“They bring the energy,” Harmon continued. “I love the players like Javian Mallory, Malachi Toney, and Mark Fletcher.”
Mallory is an incoming freshman running back at Miami, and he played high school ball at West Boca. Harmon just transferred to the South Florida power. The two of them have a great connection, and Mallory is recruiting Harmon to join him in college.
“He’s been telling me that Miami is the place to be and that it is great,” Harmon said.
Even though it’s still early in his recruitment, the Hurricanes are still in a prime position for the local three-star running back.
“I’m still not sure where I will go to school, but Miami is for sure at the top,” Harmon finished.
More About the 2028 Class
The 2028 class will be crucial for the future of Miami. Arguably, the two best prospects of the past few years, Amir Sears and Bryson Wright, are right in the Hurricanes’ backyard, and the two could change the course of Hurricanes football if they come.
Overall, the 2028 class in Florida might be one of the best in any state ever. There is so much talent throughout the state, and Miami is looking to get a class that rivals this 2027 class, which is the top three in the country per Rivals.
Some other in-state prospects that the Hurricanes are targeting include Gabriel Player (four-star linebacker), Asher Ghioto (four-star defensive lineman), Antonio Thompson Jr. (four-star defensive back), and George Selvie (four-star offensive lineman), amongst a ton of others.
While Harmon is only a three-star now, it would not be surprising if he becomes a four-star by the end of his senior season.
