Maryland’s undersized, blue-collar linebacker who brought real edge
Alex Simet was a 5'10", 220-pound linebacker at Maryland who earned a reputation as a grinder and team-first presence, with the Terps noting a sack in the 2022 spring game and steady special-teams/rotation value during his career. He stands out less for flashy counting stats than for toughness, effort, and leadership—traits that can fit a defense looking for a reliable, physical, high-intensity communicator. If your team wants a high-motor, instinctive depth piece rather than a headline tackler, Simet is the kind of player coaches tend to love.
