Kamarion Franklin had an unforgettable junior season at Lake Cormorant (Mississippi) High School. During Franklin’s record-breaking junior season with the Gators, he had 73 tackles, 22 tackles for loss and a school-record 17 sacks. He also had 48 quarterback pressures and 27 quarterback hits. He earned Commercial Appeal football first-team all-metro honors and about every other recognition you could think of throughout the state. Franklin also plays basketball for Lake Cormorant, where he's averaged around 6.3 points through his first two seasons on the varsity basketball roster.
