The Alabama Crimson Tide football program has secured a commitment from three-star defensive lineman Simmons, a standout player from Hartfield Academy in Flowood, Mississippi. Simmons, who was offered by Alabama in April, made his commitment official just two days after his official visit to Tuscaloosa in June.
Simmons, a 6-foot-3, 295-pound defensive lineman, chose Alabama over North Carolina State and Arkansas. He was primarily recruited by Crimson Tide defensive line coach Freddie Roach. Simmons is a consensus three-star prospect and is considered one of the top defensive linemen in the class of 2025.
Throughout his three-year varsity career at Hartfield Academy, Simmons has been a dominant force on the defensive line. He has accumulated 229 total tackles, including 67 for loss and 34 sacks. His team won back-to-back MAIS 6A state championships, including a 19-14 win over Jackson Prep in this year’s state championship game.
Simmons is one of three defensive line commitments in Alabama’s 2025 class. His commitment is a significant boost to the Crimson Tide’s recruiting class, which is currently ranked No. 2 in the nation. Alabama is still in play for some of the country’s top talents, and Simmons’ commitment is a testament to the program’s ability to attract top-level recruits.
The Alabama Crimson Tide football program has a rich tradition of producing talented defensive linemen, and Simmons is expected to be a key contributor to the team’s success in the future. With his commitment, Simmons joins a long list of talented recruits who have chosen to play for the Crimson Tide.
