Entering the season, the Mountaineers knew they could have one of the best pass rushes in the Sun Belt Conference, but few would predict who would be sitting atop the stat sheet in sacks.
Even though defensive lineman Tee Sims, a redshirt junior from Covington, Georgia, made his first start a few weeks ago in a 24-0 win over UL Lafayette, he leads the Apps with six sacks this season. Sims’s impressive play also puts him second in the Sun Belt Conference in sacks, just behind senior defensive end Randy Allen from South Alabama.
Starting his career at Georgia Military College, Sims played everything from running back as a freshman to becoming a defensive standout his sophomore season.
