Louisville Basketball Adds Senegalese Forward Mouhamed Camara

Louisville men's basketball has secured a commitment from Mouhamed Camara, a 6-foot-7 power forward from Senegal who has been developing at NBA Academy Africa. Camara, regarded as a 4-star prospect, averaged 10.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.8 steals, and 2.5 blocks per game, showcasing his defensive intensity and competitiveness. His offensive skills are still developing, but he excels in running the open court and finishing at the rim, with the potential to be a valuable utility player in high-major college basketball. Camara will join Louisville's 2025-26 roster, which already includes international talent like German big man Sananda Fru and McDonald's All-American Mikel Brown Jr., under head coach Pat Kelsey. He is expected to enroll in summer school before the season and follows in the footsteps of Emmanuel Okorafor, another NBA Academy Africa alumnus who played for Louisville. Camara's commitment marks the sixth newcomer for Louisville's upcoming season, with the program continuing to build a diverse and competitive roster.
