Marshall’s Jaasai Simmons is a heat-seeking linebacker with early playmaking flashes
Jaasai Simmons is a 6-1, 234-pound Marshall linebacker whose profile points to an aggressive, high-motor front-seven player with outside-linebacker/edge upside; Marshall’s roster notes he was a three-star prospect and, in four reported games, produced 10 total tackles with 6 tackles for loss, a nice little “I’m in your backfield now” calling card.[14] Public stat pages show limited 2026 box-score production so far, but the available evaluations and depth-chart chatter suggest he’s a developmental defender worth watching for disruptive burst, physicality, and special-teams or rotational value rather than polished, finished-product polish right now.[1][12][14]
