Will Simmons brings veteran power and pass-protection polish at ECU
In the 2013 season, East Carolina’s Will Simmons stood out as a three-year starter at right guard, earning All-Conference USA recognition while helping power a Pirates offense that ranked No. 20 nationally in passing offense (286.1 yards per game) and protected the QB well enough to produce seven 300-yard passing games over two seasons[1]. At 6-5 and 342 pounds, his calling card was strength plus rare athletic testing for an interior lineman, including elite flexibility and strong vertical/broad jump numbers[1]. He looks like the kind of tone-setting, experienced trench piece who makes an offense harder to knock off schedule[1].
