Julien Simon is only 15-years old. You wouldn’t know it by looking at him.
The Tacoma, Washington native is a 6-foot-2, 215 pound athlete. Of course, we all have to wait a while before we ever see him play college ball.
Simon is in the class of 2021. However, he already has some huge programs after him.
Julien Simon went on a recent visit to Alabama, and pictures of him in a Crimson Tide uniform went viral.
He legitimately looks like he could be entering his senior year at running back for Nick Saban. Just based on this video, you could give Simon 12/1 Heisman odds and no one would bat an eye.

He doesn’t just look the part either. Simon was a two-sport star as a freshman for Lincoln High School. He also has some serious ability on the basketball court.

Interestingly, given his frame, he started out at wide receiver. It is unclear if that will be his best position going forward, but the big man can really run some routes.
Apparently he impressed coaches at the camp in Tuscaloosa.

So far, Alabama hasn’t extended an offer. It is extremely early in his recruiting cycle of course.
Five programs have kicked things off with early scholarship offers, however. Colorado, Oregon, Tennessee, USC, and Utah are all after Simon.
Keep this name in mind as we move closer to 2021. He has the makings of a big time blue-chip recruit.
