Simmons Shines in Debut for Missouri | Missouri Tigers Football News

Austin Simmons, the electric left-handed QB who skipped two recruiting classes, shredded Arkansas-Pine Bluff for 252 yards and 4 TDs in his Missouri debut — including a jaw-dropping 25-yarder to Shaun Terry II — as the Tigers cruised to a 54-14 win in their shiny new stadium. Once Ole Miss’ starter before an injury sidelined him, Simmons stayed through their playoff run before transferring to Mizzou — where he’s already clicking with new OC and fellow Ole Miss transfer Cayden Lee. Despite a minor sack, Simmons was nearly flawless, connecting 8 times with Donovan Olugbode for 116 yards and 2 scores. Coach Drinkwitz praised the performance while noting it’s just a tune-up against a lower-tier opponent — next up: a brutal conference slate featuring top-ranked teams and a rivalry showdown with Kansas. A promising start for Simmons and the Tigers. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
