Oregon Lands ULM Transfer Defensive Tackle Jerome Simmons

The 6-foot-4, 340-pound JUCO standout arrives with one season of eligibility to bolster the Ducks' defensive line depth.

Overview

Jerome Simmons committed to Oregon on Saturday, with On3's Hayes Fawcett first to report and Pete Nakos corroborating.
Simmons has one year of eligibility remaining after redshirting at South Carolina in 2024.
He appeared in eight games for UL Monroe in 2025, recording 10 tackles and a pass breakup.
