The defensive line group was loaded with highly-rated prospects, but the day's most impressive performance went to a two-star prospect whose only offer coming into the camp was from Army. Ramsey (N.J.) Don Bosco Prep's Brandon Simon only measures 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds, but on this day he bested a group that included five-star Gary, Rivals100 defensive end Ron Johnson and class of 2017 four-stars Josh Kaindoh and Fred Hansard. Simon not only came away a victor in every rep he took during the one-on-one session, but was hardly challenged and barely touched throughout the day. His size will limit him to being an edge rusher, but he is explosively quick in that role and took advantage of his opportunity to impress on the big stage.

No it is Rovals so the link won't work on here. My posting it is just a formality to show where the tidbit came from...and it is more blurb than an article.

it's more of a citation than anything else, when CuseLegacy posts it. Too bad Fab never caught on.

I agree, I hope we offer this kid.

 

[anomander]

Hmmph I thought these camps were useless?

 

[djorange1989]

We need to offer this kid. And Toad needs to go into the used car business

I take offense to that as a former used car salesperson, I never met one salesperson lacking that much integrity. And I've seen a lot of guys lacking integrity

My apologies. One should think hard and long before comparing anyone to Toad!

As a general rule, they are. Unless you come from powerhouse school (ahem, Don Bosco).

I'd almost guarantee that had Brandon been from another, no-name school, he would have been overlooked and his performance would've been deemed a fluke.

There are no flukes in recruiting ... haven't you heard?
