Earlier today, Simmons entered the Transfer Portal, and the Wolfpack quickly offered.

Simmons saw action in eight games for the Warhawks this season, finishing with 10 tackles across 142 defensive snaps as a reserve. He earned a 59.4 PFF grade.

Simmons began his collegiate career in the junior college ranks at Highland Community College in 2022. As a freshman, he recorded 24 tackles, eight tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks. In his second season, Simmons earned All-Conference honors, finishing with 26 tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, one forced fumble, and one interception.

He transferred to South Carolina ahead of the 2024 season, but redshirted after not seeing game action.

Simmons has one year of eligibility remaining.
