Old Twinkletoes has turned into one of the nation’s best players.
Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons is putting together the type of season that earns a player All-American honors and a hefty paycheck when the NFL comes calling.
According to Sports Reference, Simmons is one of only two FBS players this season — along with Western Kentucky’s DeAngelo Malone — with 50+ tackles and five or more sacks. Over the last 20 seasons of ACC football, going back to 2000, Simmons is one of only five players to record 50+ tackles and five or more sacks through the first seven games, per Sports Reference.
