Overview

  • Simmons is expected to remain with the Rebels through their College Football Playoff run despite entering the portal.
  • ESPN reports he filed with a no-contact designation, signaling a likely destination and restricting other schools from initiating outreach.
  • Simmons opened the season as Ole Miss’ starter before a Sept. 6 ankle injury led to Trinidad Chambliss taking over and leading the Sugar Bowl win over Georgia.
  • He will be a graduate transfer with two seasons of eligibility remaining.
  • Ole Miss has a pending NCAA waiver for an extra year for Chambliss, while Missouri is seeking a starter after Beau Pribula entered the portal.
