"They actually offered me before camp," Simon told Dawgman.com a day after receiving the offer. "It was about 1:30 and me and my parents had a meeting with coach (Chris) Petersen and after we talked for a little while, he offered.

"A big thing for them was seeing me tackle in space. That was something they had talked to me about and last weekend, at the PLU (11v11) camp, they saw me tackle in space and they said that I did really well."

With his offer from the Dawgs now in hand, where do things stand on the recruiting front?

"I'm not ranking any schools right now or offers right now," Simon noted. "It's still really early for me. I'm just keeping an open mind toward all of the schools that want to offer me. I have 18 months until I can sign with a school, so I have a lot of time."

"I'd like to get out to see Tennessee or possibly Florida State," Simon noted. "Those are schools I'm interested in seeing and getting a good feel for what they have to offer."

Washington is recruiting Simon as a linebacker, but most schools have told him they see him playing on either side of the ball, not wanting to pigeon hole themselves into a spot.

"Most schools don't even label it," Simon said. "They just want me to get there and then they'll figure it out."
