Antjuan Simmons was the leading tackler for Michigan State last season and the senior from Ann Arbor will look to be a key player for the Spartans defense in 2020.

Simmons had a breakout season in 2019, finishing the year with 90 tackles and 3.5 sacks and he will look to improve upon those numbers. He plays very well in space and is a versatile defender.

I think that at the next level Simmons can be a three-down player and be a nickel safety that plays in the box on passing situations and a linebacker on early downs and that kind of versatility will be appealing to NFL teams.

Watch for Simmons to be a second or third-round prospect next April.
