Big-bodied Maryland DL with breakout upside, but little 2026 production yet
Simmons is a **6-foot-6, 286-pound** Maryland defensive lineman whose value is mostly about projection right now: ESPN lists him as active, but Maryland’s roster page shows **no 2026 stats yet**, so he’s still in the “tools first, résumé later” phase[13][20]. What stands out is the rare combination of size and edge-like length for a front-line defender, which can make him disruptive if his pad level, leverage, and hand use keep catching up to his frame[20]. For a team, he looks like a developmental fit with upside rather than an immediate stat-sheet producer[20].
