Malik Simmons gives Mercer a red-zone weapon with real TE versatility
In the 2025 season, Mercer tight end Malik Simmons posted 11 catches for 129 yards and 4 touchdowns, a compact line that screams “finish drives” more than volume hog[3]. At 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, he brings a workable blend of size, target radius, and red-zone value, and Mercer’s own roster bio shows he entered 2025 as a redshirt senior with prior experience at Lenoir-Rhyne[1][4]. The tape-and-stats picture here is a useful one: not a flashy stat monster, but a reliable situational weapon who can punish mismatches and give an offense a steady, experienced presence at tight end[3][11].
