Sarkodie plays for Milford Mill Academy in Baltimore, Maryland. 247Sports ranks him as the number 9 player overall in the state in the 2026 recruiting class.

NC State offered Sarkodie on January 21st, and he quickly scheduled a visit. He chose to run with the Wolfpack over offers from Penn St., Maryland, Tennessee, Syracuse, Minnesota, Boston College, Virginia Tech, Indiana, Pitt, Wake Forest, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and others.

As a junior this past fall, Sarkodie had 35 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 1 sack, and 5 pass breakups.

Sarkodie is the Wolfpack’s third verbal commitment in their 2026 recruiting class, joining three-star Offensive Tackle Brady Sakowitz and three-star Quarterback Jacob Smith. Out of the three, Sarkodie is the highest-ranked player according to ON3, 247Sports, and Rivals.

ON3 ranks NC State’s three-man 2026 recruiting class 38th nationally after the addition of Sarkodie.
