Colin Simmons: Sack Machine & Leader | Texas Longhorns Football News

Colin Simmons is turning heads as a potential 2027 NFL Draft top pick, but his sights are locked on this season’s national championship run. Already a force with 43 tackles, 15.5 sacks, and All-American honors last year, he’s evolved into a mature leader who keeps practices sharp and team-focused. He calls teammate Keelon Russell “my dog,” praising his talent and chemistry, and sees the Texas A&M rivalry as vital to team culture. Simmons credits Coach Muschamp for being a “player’s coach” who lets him be himself, and he’s amazed at the demand for his memorabilia. With every game — even against LSU’s Death Valley — treated with equal intensity, Simmons carries the pride of representing the Longhorns like family, and he’s loving every moment, even his EA Sports game stint.
