Simpkins
5'9" | 160 lbs | ATH/QB
Wahama | 2027
State
WV
heads into his senior offseason at Wahama looking to rebound from a junior year that was slowed by injuries after showing his potential earlier in his career. The 2027 quarterback earned Honorable Mention All-State recognition as a sophomore in 2024 and has the kind of athletic profile that still gives him a chance to make a major impact if he can stay healthy. Simpkins is a true dual-threat who fits naturally in a run-oriented offense, using his quickness and burst to create problems for defenses in the open field. While he may be undersized for the position, his speed and competitiveness allow him to influence the game in multiple ways, including as a defensive back. If he returns at full strength and recaptures the form he showed earlier in his career, Simpkins can put together the type of senior season that moves him into First Team All-State conversations and earns college attention.
