promising Memphis LB with SEC-level pedigree and rare upside
Karmelo Overton entered Memphis as a four-star linebacker and a top-10 inside linebacker nationally in his class, bringing verified size, athleticism, and captain-level leadership from Carroll HS in Ozark, Alabama[1][4]. In the 2024 season, he appeared in 10 games and recorded 1 tackle, so the current stat line is modest, but his value is more about projection: he’s a physical, coverage-capable inside linebacker with growth potential and a frame built to add more good mass[1][3][6]. He also showed resilience after a scary midseason medical incident in 2024, returning healthy and reinforcing his toughness and makeup[9].
