As National Signing Day approaches, Jeffrey Simmons’ life has come full circle in almost a year.
A year ago, the five-star defensive end from Macon, Miss., signed with Mississippi State over the likes of Alabama, Ole Miss and many others.
Simmons was regarded as a national top-20 prospect and being counted on to be an impact player from day one for Mississippi State.
Then, in the spring of 2016, Simmons found himself in the center of a national story as he was recorded via cell phone punching a woman. The incident led to his arrest and charges.
