DL John Simon (official thread)

[dozerbuck]

I'm amazed at no PSU offer considering how well they've done there recently.

Thats because they don't have the "minority graduation rates" card to pull on Johnny

EDIT: Im sorry, that was inappropriate to throw all of PSU under the bus like that......let me rephrase my comment....

I was watching Sports Time Ohio(STO) last night and they had the Mooney/Stuebenville game on and they showed a list of players who were committed to Big 10 schools. And they has Simon listed as an Ohio State committ. Anyone know if this is true or not? or maybe it was just a typo by the STO crew.

John is not interested in recruiting right now as Cardinal Mooney is making another run at the state championship. He says he speaks with Storm Klein often.

I got to go to the Mooney vs. Coldwater game today. Simon was very disruptive, despite facing consistent double teams. He lined up at DT and came outside to DE when Mooney dropped to 3 DL. He recovered a fumble, tipped a few passes, and had several QB pressures. He was definitely more of a force on the DL than future Sooner Taylor Hill, who seemed to be a non-factor. John's gonna be a good one.


Oh, Fickell and Heacock were on the sidelines......

How would Simon look as a DE? I don't know how his speed compares to Gholston/Kudla, but he reminds me a lot of how physically imposing these guys were... as a high schooler.

[wadc45]

I think he might end up as a SDE initially...
