Simon, 6-foot-2/198 lbs from Brentwood, TN, is rated in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 37 safety in the nation and the No. 12 player in the state of Tennessee.

Kenneth also has offers from top SEC schools like Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M.
It would be a surprise, though, if Tennessee doesn’t come out on top in this recruiting battle.
