Jake Simmons brings bruising power and proven production to Charlotte’s backfield
Simmons enters Charlotte as a 5'11", 215-pound redshirt freshman RB with eye-catching high school production—4,771 career rushing yards and 63 touchdowns, including 1,900 yards and 27 scores as a senior—and that profile suggests a physical, downhill runner who can finish drives and handle volume. Charlotte’s roster notes and ESPN show no college stats yet, so the key appeal is projection: a productive, decorated prep back with size, conference offensive-player pedigree, and academic distinction who could fit a team looking for toughness, reliability, and short-yardage punch rather than polished college tape.
