'19 TN DT Elijah Simmons (Tennessee signee)

[BigorangeBoy]

Offensive Goaltending IMO, RC says he thinks the staff measured him at around 6' 1 1/2 to 6'2 when he was here. But that was before Barnes made him take off his shoes...

 

[KeyVol14]

Health permitted, yes. I think they’ll try to swing nose with Emmitt Gooden and Savion Williams...and maybe some snaps with Emerson. Pruitt wants Simmons at 325.

Surely he can slims down 20 lbs in one offseason

 

[you]

Keep him at 350... I’m jaded about the stupid weight loss KMac had to endure that ruined his career.

 

[swchandler1988]

Just make sure he’s in shape, weight be damned. I promise no one was trying to make sure another PC alma mater weighed a specific amount, as long as he could get to the QB

And build strength at the same time? I’ll defer.

Let the boy eat

I’m avid lifter myself; I don’t think it’s entirely impossible to slim down 15-25 lbs and gain strength at the same time.

It's completely possible with the amount of fat he has.

Get on a powerlifting regimen and eat the right food and he should be able to contribute late in the year. Now savion Williams; that boy will he a starter IMO. I’d like to see what Emerson can do as well

I think Williams will see time at NT...but start elsewhere. Gooden is our bridge to Simmons.

I’d figure he would slide over in DE spot in our base 3-4 scheme

His regular spot imo. Slides over TO nose in pass rush situations.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

I may be proven wrong but that's OK. I think this kid will end up being the steal of the class.

 

[FïreBall]

He is one of my favorites in this class. I hope he balls out!

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Damn I miss the days of having John Henderson and Albert Haynesworth clogging the middle. Plus Will Overstreet at DE. To quote the Archie Bunker family: Those were the days.

Has to be the best d-tackle duo ever in the SEC

It was my All Time favorite duo. College or NFL.

How I picture Elijah when he get on campus.

 

[Sleegro]

His future is at corner back. Elijah island.

The very first time I saw him on here this ism the scene that popped into my mind. I can just imagine him throwing the offensive center or guard like a rag doll.

Poona Ford sighting on Sunday night football. Hope this kid can be a similar undersized quick and disruptive type.

Since when is 6'2 350 undersized for a NT?
