Donta Simpson brings size, juice, and early flashes to Miami’s defensive front
In the 2025 season, Miami DL Donta Simpson appeared in 8 games and logged 4 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and 1 quarterback hurry, while also being recognized by On3 as a preseason True Freshman All-American candidate[2][12][13]. At 6-foot-3 and 300 pounds, he has the frame to anchor inside, and the early buzz suggests a disruptive, high-upside interior lineman with real mass and college-ready physicality[1][14]. For a team that wants a young defensive tackle who can grow into a dependable rotation piece, Simpson looks like a classic “bet on the traits” prospect: thick build, legit power, and enough early production to keep the arrow pointing up[1][8].
