I am very curious to how he will end up and at what position. And I also do not know why there are some doubts about him. I know he is a great athlete and trust the staff, for the most part, to make the correct decision. Many people think he will end up at OLB, because he is only about 225lbs right now, and other reasons as well. Now I'm sure with a RS year in the weight room and natural growth he could get up to around 240lbs. unless he is like Paris Palmer, where it took forever for him to put weight on for some reason.
I know right now we need more LB's than DE's, but Simmons was around a top 5 DE in the nation. At camps where he went up against some of the better D.1 OL's, he beat them one on one 90% of the time. If he is beating other D.1 OL's on a regular basis, why move him to OLB? IMO he could easily be a better version of Aaron Maybin, and the best DE we recruited this year
Simmons DE Rankings: Rivals #6, ESPN #4, 247 #4, Scout # 9
So why is there some doubt? Honest question, would like to hear your opinions.
