Guard ready to begin her collegiate career 8,000 miles from home
When Jasmine Simmons makes her career debut at Oregon State, it will be over 8,000 miles away from her home gym. Hailing from Mildura, Australia, Simmons amassed over 3,000 points and 2,000 rebounds during her high school career. Though that distance from home will be an obstacle Simmons will have to face, she says she is more than ready for the challenge with the help of her coaches and teammates here in Corvallis.
"It's a big thing moving across the world for basketball, but I think I had the best relationship with the coaches here at Oregon State, it felt like a family by the time I got here," Simmons said.
