2027 ATH Joshua Simmons Speaks on Recent Boston College Offer

Simmons spoke with Boston College Eagles on SI, and shared his reaction to the offer, as well as some of his future visit plans for the rest of the fall.

Speaking on what it means to receive interest from power four programs, Simmons said, "It means a lot to me to be receiving these offers. It's something I've been working for for a long time."

He continued, "I've always watched college football and wanted to be there in those big games on the big stage."

Moving to his relationship with the Boston College staff, the New York native said, "I've been in contact with [Boston College] since I went to their camp in the spring. They were in contact with me pretty early compared to other schools."

As an athlete prospect, Simmons is used all over the field for Iona Prep, but when asked which side of the ball he prefers, the junior has no clear favorite. He said, "I honestly have no preferece in offense or defense. I would like to play whatever position will help me get to the next level after college."

As of now, Simmons does not have any concrete plans to return to Chestnut Hill this fall, but he will be in Syracuse for the Orange's showdown with Pittsburgh and then will head to Virginia on November 8th to see the Cavaliers take on Wake Forest.

Though there is still plenty of time before the impressive junior prospect makes his final college decision, the Eagles potentially run the risk of falling behind in his recruitment if he does not make it to campus this fall.
