By Phil Kornblut
DB Darrell Simmons (6-2 194) of College Park, GA did commit to USC Sunday at the conclusion of his official visit. "I just felt that was the school for me," Simmons said. "I like all the new projects they have going on. Coach Cooper said I could possibly start as a true freshman at safety. Coach Spurrier said the same thing." Simmons was joined on the visit by his high school coach and while in Columbia he was reunited with former teammates Carlos Thomas, Addison Williams and Ladi Ajiboye.

Simmons Headed To A Junior College
By Phil Kornblut

USC 2008 signee DB Darrell Simmons (6-2 196) is at home this semester dealing with issues regarding his high school transcript. But, Simmons said those issues have been resolved and he will enroll in January at Butler JC, KS. He will play the 2009 season there, and possibly 2010, though he's hopeful of being able to transfer after one season. Simmons said he's not heard from USC in a couple of months, but he would still like to end up in Columbia. "They might have forgotten me, but that's my school," Simmons said. "I'd love to be a Gamecock."
