Andrew Simpson is a disruptive, high-IQ linebacker who finished 2025 as one of UNC’s most active defenders
Simpson’s 2025 season showed why he matters: as a redshirt senior transfer from Boise State, he posted 62 tackles, 9.0 tackles for loss, 5.0 sacks, an interception, a forced fumble and a pass breakup, while his 79.5 PFF pass-rush grade ranked 27th nationally.[1] He brings a compact 6-foot, 218-pound frame, strong awareness, and proven production as both a run stopper and pressure player, and EA’s 2026 ratings reflect that with an 87 overall and 93 awareness.[1][2] He looks like a fit for teams wanting a reliable, experienced, downhill linebacker with real blitz value.[1][6]
