Duncanville (Texas) five-star EDGE Colin Simmons is playing for a state championship on Saturday night against Houston (Texas) North Shore. The 6-foot-2.5, 225-pound pass rusher has made his presence felt on multiple occasions, including a big sack.

As North Shore’s quarterback moved to his left, Simmons found him in stride. He then brought the signal-caller down for a big loss.

Simmons is the No. 6 overall prospect and No. 1 EDGE in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 2 player in Texas.

The Lone Star State native holds 35 offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, LSU has a commanding lead for his commitment at 90.4%.

RPM was released to the public in December. The On3 engineering group teamed up with Spiny.ai to create the industry’s first algorithm and machine learning-based product to predict where athletes will attend college. 

It factors in machine learning, social sentiment, visits and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.

Simmons has an On3 NIL Valuation of $158K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Colin Simmons On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Colin Simmons:

“Long-limbed EDGE prospect who stars for one of the top high school programs in Texas. Measured at around 6-foot-2.5, 225 pounds with a 34-inch arm prior to his junior season. Grew around an inch as a sophomore. Primarily lines up at defensive end for Duncanville. Uses first-step quickness, play speed and dip to create issues for opposing offensive tackles.

“Shows good curvilinear movement with his ability to turn corners as a pass rusher. Length aids in disengaging from offensive linemen, finishing plays and disrupting passing lanes. Looks to play with a good effort level. Plays against top competition and made an impact on a defensive front that featured older, Power 5 prospects.”
