Cincinnati gets a disruptive, power-built DL with verified top-150 buzz
Darrius Simmons is a **three-star defensive tackle** and **Top-150 Florida prospect** who chose Cincinnati over South Carolina, Kansas State and Houston, giving the Bearcats a blue-chip body type with real recruiting validation.[2] Listed at **6-2, 300 pounds**, he projects as an interior run-stuffer with the burst and athleticism to collapse pockets, and evaluators describe him as a disruptive force who can win with speed as well as power.[5][10] He looks like a strong fit for a defense that wants a physical DL who can affect plays inside, not just occupy space.[2][10]
