Dedrick Simpson brings veteran muscle and position flexibility to UTEP’s defensive front
Dedrick Simpson is a seasoned UTEP defensive tackle with a long-running résumé in the program, including playing multiple roles early in his career and showing the kind of physical, no-nonsense interior presence coaches love. His listed production includes 9 solo tackles, 2 sacks and 1 forced fumble in career stats, but the bigger draw is his experience, toughness and ability to line up in different spots along the front. If you want a dependable trench player who adds grit and depth, Simpson is the kind of fit that quietly makes a defense sturdier.
