ended his high school career on a high note with a very impressive senior season. Simons led Nicholas County in rushing this past season, carrying the ball 205 times for 1,691 yards and 23 touchdowns in 11 games. Wyatt is a strong downhill runner who has shown the ability to keep his legs churning through contact while maintaining his balance to break tackles with ease. He has also shown the burst of speed to run away from the defense for big gains. Simons also made a big impact on defense at linebacker as a senior, leading his team with 105 tackles while also recording four tackles for loss and a sack. Wyatt surprisingly doesn’t hold any offers but he definitely has the talent to play somewhere at the next level if given an opportunity.

had a breakout year as a junior, rushing for over 1,300 yards and 17 touchdowns. He is a strong runner, showing the ability to lower his shoulder and keep his legs churning through contact to break tackles with ease without losing stride. Simons has also shown the speed to run away from the defense on long runs once he hits the open field. He also played huge role on defense at linebacker last season, leading his team with 109 tackles. Simons doesn’t currently hold any offers but I expect college coaches to have their eyes on him going into his senior year.

is another incoming sophomore that has caught my attention early in his high school career. While he has shown the ability to produce on both sides of the ball, I really like what I’ve seen from Simons on offense. He lines up at guard and is very impressive as a run blocker. Simons is a true mauler in the run game, exploding out of his stance and driving his man down the field. He finishes his blocks with a ton of physicality, resulting in a lot of pancake blocks on film. Simons is also a reliable pass blocker, showing quick footwork along with the ability to protect his inside gap and not allow for much penetration into the pocket. Wyatt doesn’t currently hold any offers but he will be a player to watch as he continues to grow as a player.
