Before Jess Simpson’s final playoff run as the coach of Buford fell short in a Georgia state championship game, the Wolves mowed through Jones County from Gray in the second round. Buford piled up 56 points on the way to a 30-point win, then left to join the staff of the Georgia State Panthers less than a month later.
On Wednesday, Simpson met the Greyhounds again, this time to recruit one of the young defensive standouts from the Jones County team he beat in his final season. Ja’Darien Boykin, a four-star defensive end, is slated to officially visit the Miami Hurricanes, and Simpson’s role as Miami’s defensive line coach can only help the Hurricanes’ cause.
