Malcolm Simpson brings Nebraska a high-upside, high-motor defensive line body
Simpson is a freshman Nebraska defensive lineman with real long-term upside: at 6-3, 265, he has the frame to hold up on the interior and the recruiting pedigree to suggest starter potential, and he was viewed by Nebraska outlets as a productive high school pass rusher with 58 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and 7 sacks over his final two seasons. The catch is availability—Nebraska says he missed the 2025 season and redshirted while dealing with an injury—so the key question is whether he regains health and develops into a disruptive, dependable rotation piece.
