After beginning his college career at Louisville, the 6-foot-3, 210-pound Simms has two years of eligibility remaining and will compete with senior Nick Stephens and incoming freshman commitment Tyler Bray for the starting quarterback job next year. In 2009, while playing for El Camino College in Torrance, Calif., Sims completed 159-of-269 passes for over 2,200 yards and 17 TD. He broke his hand with two games to go in the season, but he has since had surgery and is scheduled to resume throwing next week.
This is huge news for the Vols, who were once lacking depth at the position. Now with commitments from Bray and now Simms, the position has a little hope. After losing three lineman commitments yesterday, the signing of Simms makes those losses seem nonexistent.
