Duncanville Star Colin Simmons Has Gone from Hating Football to Dominating It

Colin Simmons did not always love football. As a child, he wanted nothing to do with the sport. Something changed. Now the Duncanville defensive lineman terrorizes quarterbacks with explosive speed off the edge that helped deliver the school's first state championship in 25 years.

At 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds, Simmons combines rare athleticism with relentless motor. He also contributes on the basketball court and in community service. Texas secured his commitment to add a game-wrecker to the Longhorns' defense.
