Five-star EGDE Colin Simmons sets spring visit dates

The top player in the state is set to visit Texas later this month.

2024 EDGE rusher Colin Simmons is a priority for top college football programs around the nation.

247Sports’ composite rankings list Simmons as the No. 4 player in the nation and the No. 1 in the state of Texas for the 2024 recruiting cycle. He has 45 offers coming off an excellent junior season.

The Duncanville High School superstar tells On3 Sports he does not have a timetable for a commitment yet. Instead, Simmons plans to play out his recruitment to find the right fit for him at the next level.

Just whoever I feel comfortable with, whoever I feel like I can trust, whoever I feel like is going to have my best interest, who’s gonna take care of me and protect me for the next three-to-four years. I’m keeping a close eye on the coaching staff. Everybody tells you the same thing, so I want to see with my own eyes.

Simmons is starting to ramp up his recruiting process, scheduling spring visits to Arizona State, Texas, Texas A&M, USC, Florida and Colorado.
