Akeem Blackmon Akeem Blackmon 5'11" | 205 lbs | LB Pike Road | 2025 State AL is a really talented linebacker that has become a key piece of Pike Road’s defense over the last few years. Blackmon is a highly versatile player that can play inside/outside, rush the passer, stop the run, and make plays all over the field. Blackmon is extremely productive when he puts his hand in the dirt- he has a terrific first step, can easily overwhelm offensive linemen with how quick and powerful he is, and can consistently generate pressure and place big hits on the quarterback. In addition to his pass rushing, Blackmon also does a great job setting the edge against the run- he doesn’t allow for the ball carrier to escape outside and consistently wraps them up behind or at the line of scrimmage. It’s easy to see all of these traits on tape as Blackmon made a ton of plays all around the field last fall. He ended the season with 48 total tackles (23 solo, 4 for loss), 6 sacks, and 10 hurries. Watch out for Blackmon this fall, he’s coming off a great junior season and is bound to make a ton of great plays this year!
