KeyShaun Simmons
Wins his gap play after play. This is his second year in the same defensive front at Kansas. A game that shows it: 5 tackles against Oklahoma State — Week 5, 2018.
Play style
Stout at the point of attack — steady tackle-for-loss production without a standout pass-rush number.

What the box score actually says
27 tackles. 0 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 2 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
