Jeff Sims back at Georgia Tech

[Huskers0119]

It appears he isn't playing. He hasn't left the portal, he isn't on their 24-25 roster.

Smart to complete the GT degree.

From being hyped as a potential draft pick to being an average student facing a normal life (albeit from a great university for free) in a little over a year. Life comes at you fast.

Never let Sipple live down the fact that he said Sims was better than Lamar Jackson.

With his size and strength and athletic ability, it's amazing he can't find a place on a football field. But as others have mentioned, it's a little late in the game to start learning a new position.

Can he catch the ball?

I imagine it’d be an insta fumble even if so

I honestly could not think of a single program that would want him after his horrendous 2023 film. I'm talking G5, not even P5.

Back to GT probably makes as much sense as anything. I feel for him bc trying to get a job w that 2023 game tape is simply not possible.

I don’t feel too bad for him. He stole plenty of NIL money for being worthless.

That's ridiculous. That is our poor decision, not his, unless you're suggesting he played poorly on purpose.

He was an excellent teammate with a great attitude. Nothing but well wishes for the kid. Seems like a really good guy.

I’m saying why feel sorry for the guy? It’s no different than pro ball now. He made 500-700 k and sucked. It was a shitty move by Rhule if there is blame to be put on anyone. I don’t blame Simms for taking the money.

 

[ShortSideOption]

Why can't he get on w another program as a WR? Seems to be his best option

The guy who couldn't even catch a shotgun snap by himself in the backfield probably doesn't have a lot of options to move and play WR and try to catch defended balls against a defense.

That's why he's retiring, it seems.
