Evaluation
Representing my home state of Minnesota, Robbinsdale Cooper High School was the home to state’s top recruit in the 2023 class in consensus 4-star Jaxon Howard, now a linebacker at LSU, and reloaded in their 2025 class in 6’3, 210 lb. LB Emmanuel Karmo. Also a standout WR for the Hawks, Karmo has been a known commodity since he was a freshman and was the first in his class of MN prospects to earn collegiate offers, which has now transitioned to big-time P5 opportunities from the likes of Iowa State and Purdue going into his junior season. Excitedly, the Michigan State Spartans have also joined the fray in September, adding the second B1G offer to his list on the 7th. More should come after collegiate programs check out his junior tape, which shows off a physical and dynamic athlete possessing length who can bring a ton of juice to the offense and defense as a LB and WR. Karmo is instinctive in the turnover department – as he looks to score on loose fumbles, gets his hands on the rock when tackling, and is agile enough to drop into passing lanes in the flats to pick off unsuspecting QBs. He closes very well off the edge and shows the get-off and speed to chase down ball carriers from the backside of the play, and the strength and pop to lay the wood as a tackler. Offensively, he high points the football well and can win contested catches, and demonstrates great contact balance with the ball in-hand and lateral quickness and cutting ability as well. He’s laid the boom on more than a few occasions this fall and has gutted some opposing defenses when he totes the rock as well. Athletic, dynamic, and productive, he’s all over the gridiron when he straps it up. Michigan State made some quality offers in early September.
