Currently Symonds does not have a ranking from 247sports.com. But his recruitment has picked up of late. He received offers from Buffalo, Old Dominion, Dartmouth, Princeton and UMass. The Eagles were one of his most recent schools to give a scholarship to him, offering on May 23.
Symonds, at 6-6 240lb already has college level size at the tight end position, or would be a big defensive end, both of which he played in high school. In addition, he plays two sports (basketball), and has plus athletic ability that could make him a matchup challenge in the pass game. Below you can see how he elevates in basketball.
