London Simmons, a talented three-star DT from Flowood, Mississippi, recently committed to the University of Alabama after an official visit to Tuscaloosa. Simmons attends Hartfield Academy and had been considering offers from various schools including Florida.
Alabama’s defensive line coach, Freddie Roach, played a significant role in Simmons’ decision to choose Alabama over other options. The connection he felt with Roach and the high standard of football at the university were key factors in his decision-making process.
During his visit to Tuscaloosa, Simmons was impressed by the welcoming atmosphere at Alabama and found it to be a game-changer for him. He was also drawn to Alabama’s commitment to excellence in football and believes that playing for the best will help him become the best player he can be.
Simmons had also recently visited N.C. State and was considering offers from Arkansas and Florida State. However, after his visit to Tuscaloosa, he ultimately chose to commit midway through June. His recruitment journey this off-season was significantly impacted by Alabama’s interest in him, and he is excited about the opportunity to play for the Crimson Tide next season.
