John Simon
Defensive end | Ohio StateThe Buckeyes aren't short on talent up front, but it's the versatility of the tireless, relentless senior that might make their line the best in the country. John Simon can fill multiple positions on the line, supplying extra depth on his own thanks to a 260-pound frame of solid muscle that allows him to go inside and a nonstop motor that helped produce 16 tackles for loss as a junior on the outside. Perhaps even more valuable to Urban Meyer this fall? Simon is just the seventh two-time captain in Buckeyes history and is determined to leave a winning legacy.
