Marshall’s 6-2, 281-pound interior disruptor with real transfer upside
Simeon John enters the 2026 season as a redshirt junior defensive lineman at Marshall after transferring from UVA Wise, where in 2025 he played 10 games and posted 30 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, and a pass breakup. He brings compact size for the interior, experience, and a plug-and-play motor that suggests early-down value against the run. The key selling point: he’s not just a body on the line—he has enough production and toughness to compete for snaps quickly, making him a sensible fit for a defense that wants reliable trench depth with some pop.
