Settling in as starter Simmons is poised to be the starting quarterback for the 2025 season, Ben Garrett of On3.com reports.

Impact Simmons sat behind NFL-bound quarterback Jaxon Dart during the 2024 season but has been taking starter reps throughout spring camp and looks to have solidified himself to start under center. The sophomore quarterback completed 19 of 32 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns across seven appearances in the 2024 campaign and is expected to take a big leap in the upcoming season.

Limited work in loss Simmons attempted one pass during Saturday's 24-17 defeat against Florida.

Impact Simmons was unable to complete his only pass and remains firmly behind Jaxson Dart on the depth chart. He will remain relegated to backup duty against Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl.

Sees extended action Simmons was 5-for-6 passing for 64 yards during Saturday's 28-10 win against Georgia.

Impact Simmons saw extra time under center after Jaxson Dart (ankle) briefly left the game due to injury in the first half. Dart was able to return, though, relegating Simmons to bench status. With a bye next week, Simmons is unlikely to see much work at Florida in two weeks.

Tosses touchdown in romp Simmons completed 3 of 3 passes for 47 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 63-31 victory versus Arkansas.

Impact It was the second touchdown toss of the freshman's brief collegiate career. Jaxson Dart threw six touchdowns as the starter, so Simmons is unlikely to see the field in a much more difficult clash with Georgia next weekend.

Completes pass in romp Simmons completed one pass for six yards during Saturday's 52-13 win over Georgia Southern.

Impact Despite the lopsided score, Simmons saw extremely limited action in the thrashing of the Eagles. With Jaxson Dart contending for the Heisman Trophy, Simmons is unlikely to see much time under center in 2024, including next weekend versus Kentucky.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not much action in romp Simmons completed 2-of-4 passes for 20 yards against MTSU on Saturday, while also rushing twice for four yards in the 52-3 rout.

Impact As the primary backup to Jaxson Dart, Simmons saw far less action in this contest than he did in the season opener, when he passed for 111 yards and a touchdown. Barring injury to Dart, Simmons is unlikely to see the field much except for blowouts. Wake Forest is up next for the Rebels.

Partaking in fall camp Simmons (shoulder) is healthy and practicing with the Rebels during fall camp, per The Rebel Walk.

Impact Simmons was previously rehabbing his sprained UCL this summer, but the quarterback appears to be a full go for Ole Miss at this point in fall camp. Simmons, who also plays baseball in Oxford, is currently battling Walker Howard to be the primary backup to starter Jaxson Dart.
