Big 12's Deep-Threat Spark with Untapped Potential
As a redshirt junior in the 2019 season, West Virginia WR T.J. Simmons Jr. turned 35 targets into 455 yards, averaging a top-20 Big 12 mark of 13.0 yards per catch, showcasing his explosive speed and knack for highlight-reel plays like a 52-yard TD grab. His differentiator? Raw athleticism from Florida roots as a high school RB/WR hybrid, bringing elusive intensity that screams big-play upside—perfect for teams needing a vertical stretch threat, though limited volume hints at untapped reliability if he stays healthy.
