Isaiah Simmons gives Marist a compact, versatile back with early 2026 touches
In the 2026 season, Marist senior RB Isaiah Simmons has opened with 3 carries for 5 yards against New Hampshire and has already shown a usable pass-catching profile in team stats, with 3 receptions for 30 yards in the season-to-date data. At 5'9" and 180 pounds, he looks like a quick, active-duty change-up back rather than a bruiser, and that compact frame usually hints at burst and leverage more than pure power. The fit question is simple: if a team wants a reliable, versatile senior who can handle complementary work and stay engaged without drama, Simmons makes sense; if it needs a headline workhorse, the sample so far says “not yet.”
