Name: Jason Simmons
Position: Defensive Back
Year: Sophomore
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 195lbs
Hometown: Lancaster, Texas
High School: Lancaster (via New Mexico State)
2020 stats: Didn’t play as New Mexico State cancelled its season. Started eight games in 2019 as a true freshman with 62 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, three pass breakups, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
2021 projections: Being a D1 starter helps Simmons and the Syracuse defense. He’ll be one of the guys that fills in the void left by Andre Cisco and Trill Williams in the safety unit of the 3-3-5.
