Trent Simms brings veteran, versatile toughness to Bowling Green’s defense
Trent Simms is a senior, 6-foot, 225-pound outside linebacker from Toledo who made the move from safety to linebacker and still found a way to appear in all 13 games for Bowling Green in 2024. His best value is versatility, physicality, and football intelligence—exactly the kind of “plug-and-play” defender coaches love when they want a reliable, experienced piece who can handle multiple roles. The Simms football bloodline also matters: he comes from a BGSU family and plays with the kind of edge that suggests he fits a defense that prizes effort, adaptability, and toughness.
