Austin Simmons is garnering attention as one of the nation's most unique recruits after he enrolled in college at Mississippi two years early and reclassified from the class of 2025 to 2023. Simmons arrived on campus at Mississippi already a college junior. He has his associates degree and is on track to earn his bachelor's degree by age 19.
