Gary Simon, Gibbs, 2012, ATH

Simon has offers from each of the schools listed. He is starting to arrange his official visits to his top 5 schools and wants to get them all done before January. Even though he has plenty of schools to choose from right now, his competitive nature has him wanting a few more. “I really want Florida State and Alabama. I want to compete against the best”, says Simon. He doesn’t have a preferred conference of region of the nation he would like to play in, “It doesn’t matter to me. I just want to showcase my abilities.”

Alabama is showing strong interest according head football coach, Antonio Knox. Even though he can play almost any skilled position on the field, I get the impression that “Gary’s Island” means he wants to play corner.

Versatility of Gary Simon | no doubt, enhanced by guidance from first year head coach, Antonio Knox, who has used Simon outside, in the slot and even at safety , this makes him even more marketable as a college prospect. He can lock up vs. the opponent’s best slot or eliminate the most talented receiver. He is a ball hawk and always seems to be in the right place at the right time.

Quarterbacks have stayed clear of Simon this season as they learned on the run of his capabilities last season. No matter where Simon lands, he will be one of the most competitive prospects in the class. Don’t take his calm demeanor as a weakness. It’s probably better just to let the sleeping giant…sleep.
