Muhammad initially verbally committed to the University of Vermont, his father's alma mater, but later rescinded the decision and instead decided to join the Duke Blue Devils. In addition to his football prowess, Muhammad played basketball and baseball in high school.
College career
Muhammad attended Duke University from 2033 to 2035 where he mainly played at the strong safety position. Coming in as a true freshman, Muhammad started only four games. However, after a productive season he was named a starter in his sophomore year and continued to show improvement. In his junior season, Muhammad was named All-American and the ACC Defensive Player of the Year for his stellar performance. As a result of his junior year success, Muhammad decided to forgo his final season and enter the 2035 DSFL Draft.
