There have been some opportunities for ESPN Watch List safety Brandon Simmons (Arlington, Texas/Mansfield Timberview) to attend a college game and do some personal scouting on the teams participating.
Saturday was the perfect chance to watch two Big 12 giants go at it, as he took in the Texas-Oklahoma State game in Stillwater, Okla., with Timberview teammates Trevor Walker -- a three-star, heavily recruited, 2013 safety -- and 2014 safety Ed Paris, a fellow ESPN Watch List athlete. He also made the trip with his father Kashann.
"I really enjoyed myself there; I know me and my dad really liked it," Simmons said. "The atmopshere of the game was crazy; there was an orange sea. The fans are crazy, and the atmosphere was ridiculous."
