About Jacob
Expert Analysis
Felix King | Prep Redzone Scout
Simpson plays flexed out however he will most likely transition to TE in college. The Minnesota commit is an athlete who uses his size, finesse and strong hands to beat defenders. Simpson has no problem at all catching in traffic or making contested catches because of his physical traits and ability. He is precise and effective in how he gets open and he is also good at getting his head around to track vertical throws without losing a step. He needs a little more bulk for the trenches, but has what coaches are looking for in technique, ability and demeanor. The redzone is where he wins when he has the ability to turn into a basketball player with great box out ability or win jump balls. Simpson is the only tight end in 5A to crack the top 10 in receiving yards which shows he has no problem being lined up against defensive backs.
