South Carolina's Record-Breaking TE with NFL Combine Speed and Clutch Gene
Joshua Simon exploded in the 2024 season as South Carolina's super senior TE, leading the team with 40 receptions, 519 yards, and 7 TDs—the only Gamecock TE ever to top all three categories—capping it with a Citrus Bowl score despite nagging lower leg injuries that sidelined him once[1][2][3]. At 6-4, 240 lbs, his 4.65 40-yard dash at the 2025 NFL Combine highlights elite burst for a big tight end, blending red-zone dominance (career 27 TDs) with YAC toughness after transferring from WKU where he set their TE scoring record[1][2][6]. Resilient grinder with fiery personality—called out Texas A&M fans post-57-yard game-winner—you care because he's a proven SEC producer ready to block, catch, and score for any pro squad[1][5].
