MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Marcus Simms’ college career is over.
The former West Virginia wide receiver, who entered the NCAA transfer portal in April, has instead filed paperwork to enter the NFL’s supplemental draft. A source confirmed Simms’ intention to enter the draft with MetroNews. Simms’ decision was first reported by Tony Pauline of DraftAnalyst.com.
Simms’ ability to play elsewhere next season — even at the FCS level — was clouded by his connection to an alleged violation of West Virginia’s student code of conduct that would have affected his eligibility since transfers still need to be in good academic standing.
