Sentel Simpson brings rare size and upside to Louisiana Tech’s secondary
In the 2025 season, Sentel Simpson entered Louisiana Tech as a 6-foot-4, 183-pound freshman DB with three-star recruiting value and a versatile high school résumé that included defense, receiver work, and 1,300+ rushing yards over his junior and senior years. His best differentiator is length: that frame gives him unusual matchup range and physical ceiling in coverage, while his recruiting profile shows he was widely pursued. The fit question is all about development speed—he looks like a high-upside DB who can become a real problem if his technique catches up to his athletic tools.
