Simeon Lane brought Princeton interior toughness and short-yardage grit
In Princeton’s 2018 season, Simeon Lane earned a role in the defensive line rotation and was singled out for fighting through bad knees to help in short-yardage and goal-line situations[11]. Princeton’s staff described him as strong, steady, and disciplined in his gaps, with the ability to shed blocks and “push the pocket,” even if he was not yet an elite pass rusher[12]. That profile screams reliable, physical, and coach-trustworthy — the kind of DL who fits if you want inside toughness, situational value, and someone willing to do the dirty work.
