2025 Fantasy Outlook
Simmons has one of the most interesting stories in all of college football, as the high school standout athlete graduated high school at the age of 15 and earned an associate's degree at 17 while reclassifying from the 2025 class to the 2023 class and enrolling early at Ole Miss. In 2023, Simmons redshirted while backing up Jaxson Dart and pitched for the Rebels' baseball team in the Spring of 2024 before giving up baseball to focus on football. In 2024, Simmons saw limited action behind Dart again. Simmons totaled 282 yards passing and two touchdowns, while leading the Rebels on a game-winning touchdown drive against Georgia, where he completed 5-of-6 passes for 64 yards after Dart went down with an injury. While Simmons has a great pedigree coming in, the Rebels have lost their top two receiving targets from a year ago, who accounted for 1,936 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns of their team's totals of 4,561 receiving yards and 31 touchdowns. Ole Miss has tried to replace that production with a plethora of transfer wide receivers. With the offensive wizardry head coach Lane Kiffin has displayed over the years, it is likely that Simmons will be put in a great situation to succeed, but to what extent that will be in year one as the starter will be interesting to see.

Still not 100 percent
September 29, 2025
Simmons (ankle) is "still getting back to 100 percent," according to head coach Lane Kiffin, per Dan Morrison of On3.com.
ANALYSIS
Simmons wasn't listed on Ole Miss' injury report ahead of its huge win over LSU, but Trinidad Chambliss still wound up starting that game. The Rebels are on bye in Week 6 before they return to action against Washington State on Oct. 11. With both of their quarterbacks playing well, Ole Miss doesn't need to rush Simmons back from injury, and we can expect an update on his status next week ahead of the clash with the Cougars.
