About Kellen
Expert Analysis
Ellis Williams | Prep Redzone Scout
Simmons stood out in several competitive settings. He flashed burst and body control in pass-rush periods, adjusting well to offensive techniques and finding ways to win matchups. Simmons, an upcoming junior at Park of Cottage Grove, is long and uses his advantageous wingspan to both attack and counter offensive linemen’s plans. Against the run, he stayed low, filled his assignment, and disengaged with authority. In movement-based drills, he displayed excellent foot quickness for his frame. As a versatile, effort-driven lineman with upside, Simmons looks like a promising prospect.

Read EvaluationNate Wahl | Prep Redzone Scout
Kellen was a defensive line prospect that showed off some quality reps in what I caught in Saturday’s session at the LOS Big Dawgs Camps. He showed off what was intriguing length in the reps that I watched and showed off how that length could develop in the coming years with his upside. Kellen also showed off good balance in the reps that required use of his athletic movement as a DL prospect that I could tell was locked in with taking in the attention to detail it took to put together a good reps every chance I watched. He can develop more finesse with his motor in my eyes in the coming years, but surely is a 6’2 235 pound to watch for in 6A out of the East Metro in the coming years.

Read EvaluationHayden Lindquist | Prep Redzone Scout
A sophomore who saw some varsity action last season, Simmons managed to record 13 total tackles, 4 TFLs, and 2.0 sacks. On his tape, Simmons is a tenacious defensive lineman who doesn’t give up on the play. He’s got a great first-step off of the LOS, and his agility within the trenches hasn’t ceased to amaze me. He’s a difficult defender to move out of his gap as well. Simmons also has some tape on the other side of the ball. As an offensive lineman, he brings a similar tenacity with him. I’d like to see him play with more knee bend, but he does do a solid job of working to the second level and blocking in space.
