The Best Defensive Player in College Football? | Colin Simmons Player Profile

Colin Simmons might be the best player in college football — and 2026 is the season he proves it beyond any doubt. In this video, I break down what makes the Texas edge rusher such an elite prospect: the best first step in the entire country (and why it's about anticipation, not just athleticism), the instinctive pass rushing approach that offensive tackles simply have no answer for, and why he's just as dangerous against the run as he is as a pass rusher. I also set three goals for Colin Simmons in 2026 — keeping his offsides penalties in check, reaching 11 sacks to crack Texas's all-time top three, and leaving zero doubt that he's the first edge rusher off the board in the 2027 NFL Draft. 00:00 Introduction 00:22 First Step 1:50 Pass Rushing Instincts 3:42 Run Defense 4:38 2026 Season Goals Drop a comment with who you want broken down next.
