West Virginia Mountaineers Secure Commitment from Defensive Lineman Elijah Simmons
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The West Virginia Mountaineers football program has bolstered its roster with the commitment of defensive lineman Elijah Simmons from Garden City Community College in Kansas. Standing at 6 feet 2 inches and weighing 280 pounds, Simmons is expected to make a significant impact on the team’s defensive line.
During his recent season with the Broncbusters, Simmons showcased his skills by recording 21 tackles, including 5.5 tackles for loss and one sack. His impressive performance has drawn attention from several programs, but the Charlotte native ultimately chose West Virginia over offers from schools such as North Texas, Southern Mississippi, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, and Sam Houston State.
Simmons, who began his collegiate career at Kent State, is set to graduate in May before officially joining the Mountaineers. His transfer to West Virginia adds depth and talent to the team’s defense as they prepare for the upcoming season. The Mountaineers have seen a surge of recruiting activity following the conclusion of spring football, and Simmons’ commitment is a notable highlight in their efforts to strengthen their lineup.
Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Simmons fits into the West Virginia football program, with WVSports.com promising more updates and insights on this promising addition in the near future.
Stay tuned for further developments as the Mountaineers look to capitalize on this momentum ahead of the 2023 season.
