The one thing Isaiah Simmons likes about his new position at nickel / SAM is the freedom he has.
Simmons, who moved to the nickel / SAM spot in the spring, is free to move around more and freelance a little whereas in his old free safety position he had to stick to the coverages and try not to get out of position.
Simmons also likes the fact he can blitz more in his new role than he did a year ago.
“There is a lot more freedom than there is at safety,” the redshirt sophomore said.
