One of the Aggies ballhawks at linebacker in his junior season has been 2027 target Emmit Lagge Emmit Lagge 5'9" | 170 lbs | LB/RB Garrison | 2027 State ND . There was a span of four weeks that Emmit logged 50 tackles in those four games that prove that ballhawk mentality. He has grown from a season ago with his first step to the ball which has gotten more agile and instinctive in my eyes in his junior season. He might be undersized at linebacker, but he’s one you go outside the measurables for if you are looking for a small school target.

Emmit moves up our rankings as our LB5 in this updated 2027 North Dakota class, and is one that plays way bigger than the 5’10 170 pound size you see. He also shows off a linebacker that is more elusive getting thru contact areas than you might expect and without a doubt when Emmit makes contact, the physicality sticks out like a sore thumb. Also with his athletic movement, Emmit is a linebacker that can come out of nowhere and come make the tackle as an 11A state champion that was impressive with the Aggies as a sophomore to know.
