Versatile Syracuse veteran with size, physicality, and edge
In the 2025 season, Chase Simmons was a redshirt senior listed by Syracuse at 6-foot-4, 265 pounds, and he split time at tight end and defensive line — a rare two-way profile that screams toughness and utility.[9][13] His 2025 stat line showed 7 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and 0.5 sacks, while Syracuse also noted he was sidelined for the final five games, so durability is part of the evaluation.[4][13] The big appeal: he brings a physical, mean-streak style that fits teams valuing versatility, edge-setting, and gritty locker-room presence more than pure receiving flash.[15]
