His 73 total tackles were the most on the squad as he added 1.5 tackles for loss, one sack, one interception and broke up six passes. He also recovered two fumbles.
The defensive back was named the Sun Devils’ defensive MVP for his efforts, being a bright spot on the unit in an otherwise underwhelming season.

Simmons was a big contributor to ASU’s comeback attempt against Texas at the Peach Bowl.
While he missed the first half due to a previous targeting offense, he made an impact right away when he got his chance. The DB forced a fumble on Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers and tackled him in the endzone for safety.
