Austin Simmons has already completed his associate's degree and is only two years from getting his bachelor's.

He's a star football player, one of several elite quarterbacks in the Ole Miss Rebels' loaded QB room, and a left-handed pitcher who tops out at 94 mph and could have a pro future on the diamond.

Austin Simmons is 17 years old.

He might not have a driver's license but over the summer he went from the No. 77 prospect in the 2025 class to skipping the rest of high school to enroll two entire years early at Ole Miss.
