Simmons Joins The Gamecocks
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. He said the chance to play along side them again was key to his decision. "That was very important," Simmons said. Simmons said he will not take any more official visits and he expects Spurrier to make an in home visit with him in a couple of weeks.
