Nikko Klemm brings legit cornerback upside to Sacramento State
Nikko Klemm entered Sacramento State in 2026 as a former three-star CB from Serra HS and Arizona State transfer, with recruiting pedigree and length for the position; he was ranked as high as the No. 123 corner in the 2024 class by 247Sports and No. 157 by On3. He has not yet produced game stats at the FBS level after redshirting in 2024 and not playing in 2025, so the intrigue is projection: cover skills, ball production in high school (2 INTs, 13 pass breakups in 2023), and a clean runway to compete for snaps. If you want a developmental defensive back with upside rather than a finished product, he’s worth a look.
