Mississippi State allows 5-star commit videotaped hitting a woman to enroll
Mississippi State announced it will allow Jeffrey Simmons to enroll and play football in 2016 even after he was videotaped hitting a woman in March.
Simmons offered a lengthy apology on Facebook after the video, which graphically displayed the 6-foot-3, 277-pound five-star defensive lineman striking a woman several times, was posted to the Internet.
Mississippi State said in its official release that the situation involved Simmons trying to break up a fight between his sister and another adult woman. Simmons, currently awaiting legal resolution to misdemeanor charges from the incident, will be allowed to enroll anyway and participate in summer school along with eight other true freshmen from the 2016 signing class.
"Based on conversations our staff has had with school, community and church leaders in Noxubee County, this incident appears to be uncharacteristic of Jeffery,"athletic director Scott Stricklin said. "It's a highly unique circumstance to administer discipline to a student for an incident that occurred prior to that individual joining our university. However, it's important that Jeffery and other potential MSU students understand that these type of actions and poor decisions are not acceptable.
