Austin Simmons is garnering attention as one of the nation's most unique recruits after he enrolled in college at Mississippi two years early and reclassified from the class of 2025 to 2023.
While most teenagers have returned to high school by this time of year, the 17-year-old Simmons is enrolled at Mississippi after completing high school by his sophomore year.
Simmons began taking high school courses in the sixth grade. His father, David, saw that he could handle an accelerated learning approach, so he put him in online classes. “Because I’ve coached in college and pros, I know what it takes,” David Simmons said. “It makes no sense to go to a regular school for him. If he wasn’t an athlete, I’d let him go to regular school.”
Entering his second year of high school, Simmons threw in the offseason to college receivers who were working with Bozeman in preparation for the NFL, including Chris Olave of the New Orleans Saints and Jaylen Waddle of the Miami Dolphins. “It kind of like dawned on us that this kid prepares with college players getting ready to go to the pros, and then now you have to switch gears. He’s with these guys three months from December all the way to the draft. And then right before the season starts, goes back with his receivers in high school that aren’t on the same level of the kids that he’s been working with for the last three or four months.
