Nate Simon brings size, speed, and playmaking instincts to Georgia State’s secondary
In the 2015 season, Nate Simon was a backup safety for Georgia State who still made a game-turning play with an interception at New Mexico State, returning it 27 yards to set up a touchdown in a win. He was described by Georgia State coach Trent Miles as a long, tall, lean safety who can run and tackle, with strong communication and football IQ—traits that matter as much as stats for a defensive back. He also earned academic honors, which hints at reliability and maturity. Good fit? Yes, if a team wants a smart, physical, assignment-sound safety with special-teams/value-upside energy.
