During his middle school years, Karmelo Overton would often imagine being one of the college football players on the Madden or NCAA video games.
“I always remember sitting in my room, playing Madden and NCAA and always thinking, ‘Dang, I want to be in the game like that one day.’ That was the plan. That was the goal,” Overton said Wednesday.That’s because Overton is now a part of college football. The Carroll senior linebacker signed to play for the University of Memphis Wednesday morning before family and friends at the Carroll High School cafeteria.
In 11 games with Carroll this past season, Overton earned 121 tackles, including 13 for losses, highlighted by five quarterback sacks. He also had an interception, 10 quarterback hurries, five passes break-up and two fumble recoveries. He helped the Eagles to a 5-6 record and a first-round state playoff appearance. The five wins were the most for Carroll since 2017.
“He is a sideline to sideline guy,” Overton said. “He is so smart and diagnoses things so fast and he plays really fast.” Overall, Overton said he had 19 offers from college football programs and narrowed his choices down to Missouri, Arkansas State, Arizona State and Mississippi State in addition to Memphis. He visited 10-12 schools overall, including Memphis.
