He originally committed to Vanderbilt on July 18th of last year, but decommitted from the Commodores on January 24th.

Mimms also held offers from Louisville, Kentucky, Washington State, and others.

He finished with 1,232 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns for Ben Davis High School (Indianapolis, Indiana) this year. ESPN ranks Mimms as the #17 player in the state of Indiana.

Mimms is a blueshirt commit.

This means that his scholarship doesn’t count towards the 2019 class, but the 2020 class instead. The way the loophole works, is that a blueshirt isn’t allowed to be actively recruited. That means that Mimms will not get an official visit or be allowed in-home visits with the NC State coaches. Also, as a blueshirt, he will not receive a scholarship until the first day of Fall Camp. You might remember that linebacker Airius Moore showed up for his first day on the first day of Fall Camp as a blueshirt a few years back, and ended up not redshirting, and played in every game as a true Freshman, and was basically a 4-year starter.

Punter Mackenzie Morgan was a blueshirt last year, and Mimms joins Tight End Kam Walker, and long snapper Joe Shimko as the 3rd blueshirt this year.
