Experienced WKU DB with proven ball skills and steady starter pedigree
De'Andre Simmons has the profile of a dependable, experienced Western Kentucky defensive back: a 5-foot-11, 195-pound redshirt senior who earned a starting role and appeared in every game during his 2016 season, including 12 starts at corner. His differentiators are his consistency, positional experience, and playmaking flashes — he logged career highs of 8 tackles against Louisiana Tech and 3 pass breakups at Miami (Ohio) in 2016. He looks like a fit for a defense that values trust, toughness, and coverage reliability over hype.
