  Draft Scout by Conference









  Penn State football will be replacing several long-term starters next season, with two of those departures - defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos and cornerback John Reid - heavily affecting the pass defense. Those spots will need to be filled effectively for Penn State to regain its 2019 form on that side of the ball. Two players in particular, both seniors, plan on showing they're more than capable of doing the job. Shane Simmons, while easy to overlook because of the youth at defensive end, is ready to help fill Gross-Matos' shoes while Tariq Castro-Fields wants to prove his high-level cornerback play from early last season was no fluke.

"This is a really important year for me," Simmons said in a teleconference with the media Wednesday afternoon. "This is a very important season for me." Simmons has appeared in 34 games in his four seasons on campus but has tallied only one career sack. The redshirt senior knows his time hasn't gone as planned, especially considering he was a five-star recruit out of high school, but he's ready to put that behind him. "The story isn't finished yet," he said. "I still believe I can leave my mark at Penn State." - Centre Times
