Tennessee Tech DB Slayde Simmons brings youthful upside and special-teams edge
Slayde Simmons looks like a developing Tennessee Tech defensive back with the kind of under-the-radar value coaches like: athletic upside, depth flexibility, and the chance to grow into a bigger role in the Golden Eagles’ secondary. I don’t have verified current season stat lines for him here, but his appeal is the classic DB package—coverage versatility, willingness to tackle, and roster value on special teams. If your team wants a young, coachable defensive back who can earn trust by playing fast and physical, he’s the sort of prospect worth a closer look.
