Simms has been dealing with an injury issue and missed the majority of spring activities including missing the spring game.

A few weeks ago, head coach Neal Brown told the media that Simms was absent for “personal reasons”, but it is unknown if he was out due to an injury or whatever else the case may be.

Simms would have been the leading returning receiver and looked at as the primary target for the offense this fall. In his career at WVU, he totaled 87 receptions for 1,457 yards and 8 touchdowns.
