NFL Tiger calls Simpson ‘a beast’

Prior to hosting his youth football camp with Tee Higgins last week, Isaiah Simmons watched Clemson linebacker Trenton Simpson workout at the Kroc Center in Greenville, S.C.

“I saw him earlier. Trenton is a beast,” Simmons said.

If anyone who knows a beast when he sees one, it is Simmons. He was a beast for the Tigers from 2017-’19, as he became a unanimous All-American selection in 2019.

In his last year at Clemson, Simmons led the Tigers with 107 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and eight sacks. He also had 17 quarterback pressures, broke up 10 passes and had three interceptions.
