Taurus Simmons brings veteran West Virginia depth with proven backfield disruption
Simmons is a senior defensive lineman at West Virginia whose value comes from steady experience, versatility, and a proven knack for creating disruption, with the program listing 21 career sacks, 50.5 tackles for loss, and 10 forced fumbles, while ESPN shows he has remained active through the 2024 season.[1][2] He is not just a stat line player: a scouting-style report notes he has been a reliable depth piece and special teams contributor, and his career production suggests a high-effort, play-finishing defender who fits a rotation needing toughness and edge-setting more than raw flash.[4]
