Former WVU Wide Receiver Marcus Simms No Longer in NCAA Transfer Portal as He Takes Pro Path

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on June 26, 2019 via Connect-Bridgeport.com

According to MetroNews, 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. Starting safety Kenny Robinson also left the program for similar reasons.
 
The supplemental draft is held every summer, typically involving players who lose their eligibility for the upcoming college season after the regular draft is held in the spring. Two players were taken in the supplemental draft last year, marking the first time that it was used since 2015.
