appears to be in line to be the White Falcons’ starting quarterback in 2024 with real potential as DB prospect too. For now, Simpkins will debut as an ATH in our 2027 rankings as a talented two-way player who should have a breakout sophomore season on the offensive side of the ball this year. He’s an athletic young player who didn’t play like a first-year DB last season with 81 tackles and 4 interceptions. Simpkins played the ball very well as a freshman corner/safety last season and didn’t shy away from contact or any hesitancy to attempt a PBU. He has very good pursuit speed and plays well in man coverage and in space for his age. Simpkins is also good in run support as a smaller DB which is evident by is total number of tackles.
If he can keep getting bigger, Simpkins can develop into a scholarship-level prospect by the time he’s a senior.
