Antjuan Simmons is poised to be one of the top players on Michigan State’s roster this season and very likely will become a team captain (for reasons he displayed this week in his comments about the George Floyd protests). Others around the country are starting to take notice of MSU Football’s senior linebacker, as he was named to the Lott IMPACT Trophy Watch List this week.
The award, named after Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back Ronnie Lott, is awarded annually to a defensive player who embodies the spirit of IMPACT, which is an acronym for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community, and Tenacity.
Simmons has definitely shown us his character and his talent these past three years, and I look forward to seeing how he continues to develop both on and off the field.
