Last week, Jayden Simon of Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Wash., gave his verbal commitment to the Colorado football team.
The 6-foot-4, 280-pound defensive lineman has been lightly recruited, with offers from Montana State, Portland State and Sacramento State. This winter, however, he caught the attention of new CU head coach Mel Tucker and defensive line coach Jimmy Brumbaugh and took an official visit to Boulder in late January.
Simon is one of several players planning to sign his letter of intent on Wednesday. Buffzone.com caught up with him recently.
