Colin Simmons, a five-star recruit committed to Texas, led Duncanville to their second consecutive State Championship win against North Shore with a final score of 49-33.
Simmons finished the game with eight tackles, three sacks, three tackles for loss, and one forced fumble. He was a wrecking ball, and the North Shore offensive line couldn’t stop him from getting to the backfield.
The five-star edge committed to Texas on August 10 and is set to join the Longhorns as they leave the Big 12 for the SEC. Simmons could see valuable snaps as a true freshman.
Simmons is ranked as the No. 2 edge in the country and No. 3 overall recruit in Texas, according to On3’s industry ranking.
He will join a Texas team that will be losing key defensive players to the NFL draft, such as T’Vondre Sweat, Byron Murphy, and Jaylan Ford.
Simmons is one of the Longhorns’ three five-star recruits for the class of 2024, and Texas currently holds the No. 6 overall recruiting class.
