Looking Back at Kansas Legends: Mark Simoneau of Smith Center HS (class of 1995) is one of the best weโve ever had in Kansas and had just one FBS offer coming out of high school. During his senior year (Fall of 1994) at then 3A Smith Center, he rushed for 2,252 yards that season in 11 games along with leading the state in tackles. He also set the state record in the 3A shot put at the state meet with over a 60โ heave and took second in the 100 meter dash at the same meet. Incredible explosiveness and speed for a 6โ0โ 225 athlete coming out of HS. The one FBS offer (Kansas State) he turned into an inductee of the College Football Hall of Fame & 10-year NFL career w/ 370 tackles. Simoneau was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year along with being a two time All-American at Kansas State and is in the KSU Ring of Honor. He was also a 3x All-Big 12 pick at LB and the Freshman of the Year in the Conference on defense. KSU was 42-7 with Simoneau as a starting LB and 28-4 in Big 12 play as one of the best teams in the country. He was drafted in the third round of the 2000 NFL Draft & led the Philadelphia Eagles in tackles in 2003 & was among the leaders in the NFC. He also won a Super Bowl with the Saints. Simoneau is currently the HC๐ in his first season at Shawnee Mission East. #sportsinkansas
