On Tuesday night, star defensive lineman for the Mississippi State Bulldogs Jeffery Simmons won the C-Spire Conerly Trophy. The award is given to the player recognized as the best player in the state of Mississippi each season.
But as most of us know, Jeffery Simmons almost didn’t make it to the Mississippi State campus. Not long after he had signed his letter of intent, he was videoed punching a woman in a fight with his sister who was on the ground .
It was an awful look, and Mississippi State took a huge PR hit when the school decided to suspend him just one game for the incident.
