Tyler Simmons brings speed, agility, and special-teams juice to Navy’s defense
Tyler Simmons is a Navy linebacker with a profile that fits a high-motor, assignment-sound defense: he’s listed at 5-11, 191 pounds, and his recruiting testing showed a 4.54-second 40-yard dash plus strong agility numbers, which point to quick closing burst and range. His earlier college production at Georgia came as a versatile contributor with snaps in the pass game, rushing game, and on punt returns, suggesting athleticism and toughness. The main question for Navy is how his size and position fit translate against full-time LB workloads, but his speed and competitive versatility make him an intriguing fit for a disciplined, physical system.[2][1][3]
