Cody Simon says he is “feeling really good” as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery, and he believes last season was “super important” for his development as a linebacker.
On the positive side of things, Simon earned his way into the starting lineup by Ohio State’s third game of the season and started each of the Buckeyes’ final 10 games at linebacker. He played the most defensive snaps of any Ohio State linebacker in 2021 and flashed playmaking ability over the course of the year, recording 54 total tackles with 2.5 tackles for loss, one sack and one interception.
“The stuff I went through this year, good and bad, was super important for my development as a player,” Simon toldduring a promotional event on Friday. “And so now I know what I can work on and know what I need to work on, which is a lot, but I’m just excited because I have some body of work to go into next season, I can build off of last season.
Whenever Simon does get back on the field, he’ll have to quickly adapt to playing in a new defensive scheme under first-year defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, who is also now Ohio State’s linebackers coach. The process of learning Knowles’ defense has already begun, and Simon says he likes what he’s seeing so far.
“I’m close with him and his family. He’s still one of my favorite coaches, so it’s not just the relationship is broken,” Simon said of Washington. “But it’s the way the industry works, and just gotta keep going and keep playing as hard as I can. Simon’s embracing that, though, as he believes having to compete for a starting job all over again will make him a better football player.
