KEARNEY – A former UNK Loper defensive back who transferred into Division I for the 2023-24 season placed his name in the bucket for the upcoming NFL Draft.
Gabriel Amegatcher, a 6-2, 195 pound cornerback from Romeoville, Ill., announced via social media on Tuesday his intent to declare for the upcoming NFL Draft.
The former Loper was a standout for Josh Lynn’s tenure as a defensive back, starting all eleven games his redshirt junior season in Kearney. In 2022, Amegatcher broke up eight passes, forced a fumble, and recoded a tackle for loss on a team that ended 8-3 just missing the postseason. He was also well received on Kearney’s campus, being named the 2021 Homecoming King of UNK while also serving as the UNK SAAC President.
