Miami Hurricanes News: Five-star EDGE Colin Simmons puts Miami in his top 3
Wednesday afternoon Miami Hurricanes target Colin Simmons puts the Hurricanes in his top 3 including the Texas Longhorns, and the LSU Tigers. He will announce on August 10
Simmons is the No. 5 overall prospect in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks both as the nation’s No. 1 EDGE and the No. 1 recruit in Texas
Simmons is a Speed rushing dynamo who stars for one of the top high school programs in Texas. Arguably the most dominant defensive player in the 2024 cycle, registering 22.5 sacks as a junior while playing in Texas’ highest classification. Measured at around 6-foot-2.5, 225 pounds with a 34-inch arm prior to his senior season.
Grew around an inch as a sophomore. Primarily lines up at defensive end for Duncanville. Uses first-step quickness, play speed and dip to create issues for opposing offensive tackles. Shows good curvilinear movement with his ability to turn corners as a pass rusher. Length aids in disengaging from offensive linemen, finishing plays and disrupting passing lanes. Looks to play with a very strong effort level.
“The love that the coaching staff gave to all of us [stood out on my visit]. Not just me, but all the recruits that were there. Three or four recruits there, and the whole coaching staff gave us love, each and every person. It was crazy. At first, I didn’t know he was that big until I had to look him up. He’s that guy there at Miami. Especially since he played my position in the league for many years, he could teach me so much. And he’s already taught me a lot being in that room and watching my film. It was the first time a coach told me what I was doing wrong instead of what I was doing right.”
