  • Position flexibility at this ranking level suggests exceptional athleticism and football IQ that translates across multiple roles
  • Texas prep football pedigree from a competitive region known for developing college-ready talent

Projects as a developmental prospect who could contribute within 2-3 years once position is solidified. The 4-star rating suggests starter potential by junior/senior seasons with proper development and position coaching.

NFL Outlook

Limited NFL projection without clear position designation, though the athletic traits implied by his ranking suggest potential professional upside if he can establish dominance at a specific position during college career.

Best Fit

Programs with strong player development track records and flexible position usage would maximize Simpson's potential. Schools that emphasize multi-positional versatility in their schemes could unlock his highest ceiling.

Player Comparison

Myles Jack UCLA • Jacksonville Jaguars/Pittsburgh Steelers 85% match

Jack was a 4-star recruit with exceptional versatility, playing both linebacker and running back at UCLA due to his rare combination of size (6'1", 245 lbs) and athleticism. Like this prospect, Jack's recruiting profile was built on positional flexibility and the ability to impact games in multiple ways rather than elite specialization at one position, making him a highly valued but somewhat difficult to categorize recruit.
