Antjuan Simmons (@_antjuan_) January 13, 2017Last month, Bill Kurelic, a Midwest recruiting analyst for Bucknuts.com and 247Sports, told the Free Press he believed Notre Dame was in the lead after Simmons decommitted from Ohio State in early December. Michigan was also pursuing the crosstown prospect. “He’s an outstanding athlete, linebacker prospect,” Kurelic said.
The 6-foot-1, 215-pound Simmons is the eighth-ranked player in the state, according to the 247Sports composite, and the nation’s 20th outside linebacker prospect for the 2017 class.
