Kendal Sims brings special-teams juice and linebacker versatility to Merrimack
Sims is worth watching because Merrimack has already trusted him in high-leverage roles: as a rookie linebacker, he earned NEC Special Teams Player of the Week after a blocked punt directly helped create the game-winning touchdown against Stonehill in 2022. His profile points to a physical, disruptive player who can affect hidden-yardage situations as well as defense, which makes him attractive for teams that value effort, toughness, and playmaking beyond basic tackle totals. Current public stat pages are limited, so the strongest evidence is his impact plays and special-teams value rather than volume production.
