Colin Simmons' Player Profile

Simmons is a dynamic pass rusher whose explosiveness, speed, flexibility and closing burst consistently create problems off the edge. He can threaten offensive tackles immediately with his first step, bend around the corner and chase plays from the backside, while his athleticism gives him considerable versatility in different defensive fronts. Simmons needs to continue adding strength and developing counters for situations when NFL-caliber tackles neutralize his initial speed rush. Overall, he projects as one of the premier defensive prospects in the 2027 class and has the potential to become a high-impact NFL pass rusher and early first-round selection. He is considered such an important piece of Texas' defense that a recent preseason assessment called him the player the Longhorns could least afford to lose.
