Mimms will be joining former Wolfpack Wide Receiver Porter Rooks, who also committed to Eastern Michigan out of the Transfer Portal this offseason.

This past season, Mimms had the best season of his collegiate career, rushing for 289 yards (2.9 yards per carry) and 8 touchdowns. Believe it or not, in Mimms three prior seasons on the field in Raleigh, he had never rushed for a touchdown. He changed that tune in a big way in 2023.

Mimms was a 3-star prospect in the Wolfpack’s 2019 recruiting class out of Indianapolis. 247Sports ranked him as the #19 overall player in the state of Indiana in the 2019 recruiting class. This move definitely gets Mimms closer to home for his final year of college ball.
