Unsung OT Anchor for Eastern Kentucky Colonels
R.J. Simoni, Eastern Kentucky's reliable offensive tackle, brings veteran intensity and physicality to the Colonels' line, with 14 tackles and a pick in 2007 at Union College showcasing his football IQ and versatility on returns (16 for 327 yards). His differentiator is relentless drive and gap discipline, making him a low-risk, high-motor fit for teams needing blue-collar protection—no major injury flags, just pure grit that translates to protecting QBs in high-pressure FCS battles. Watch for his rise in 2026 rankings.
