Call him Jimmy, call him Josh, but Ohio State will likely be calling upon Simmons to protect the blind side of whichever quarterback wins the starting job for the team.
At a previous school, some teammates tried to combine Simmons’ first and last name into something new, referring to him as “Jim” in that condensed form.
While Ohio State is still working through a rotation of players at different positions along the offensive line, per Frye, Simmons has been working primarily at left tackle in recent practices and was the starter there in the most recent practice open to the media. “Freaky athleticism,” Fryar said. “Watching film and seeing him go up on a linebacker, it’s kind of scary how he moves.”
“What’s the old adage or cliche, ‘iron sharpens iron?’ You’re going against some of the best players in the country on a Tuesday, Wednesday,” Frye said. “You look back to Zach Harrison last year when he was at the combine and they asked him why his game elevated his senior year. He said, ‘Because I went against the two best tackles in the country every day in practice.’ Well, we get that opportunity as tackles now to make sure that we’re getting great edge looks from all those guys.
One person Simmons has leaned on for advice is left guard Donovan Jackson, Ohio State’s returning starter who has made multiple preseason All-American teams off a first-team All-Big Ten season in 2022.
