Corey Simms, a four-star wide receiver from St. Louis, Missouri, is an extremely interesting 2025 prospect.
He's already 6-foot-3, 205 pounds and he's yet to play his senior year of high school ball. He caught 79 passes for 1,049 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior, so he's expected to be just as prolific in his final season at Christian Brothers College — a notable prep school that always has a strong program in the St. Louis area.
Simms has over 30 offers and that's to be expected for a recruit of his caliber. According to Hayes Fawcett, though, this recruitment is going to come down to three schools: USC, in-state Missouri and Penn State.
The four-star wideout is expected to announce his commitment on June 30.

Any clues as to where he'll end up?
Missouri head coach Eliah Drinkwitz has put together a fine program in Columbia and it would give Simms the opportunity to play college ball near his hometown. He did tell On3 back in April that there is some pressure to stay home, but it's more about vibes than anything for him.
“What matters to me is the feeling of being at home and being comfortable where I’m at,” Simms said. “I want to know that I’m going to be developed into the receiver that I want to be and eventually, make it to the next level. I also want to have great support behind me.”
Mizzou was the first program to offer him and he has a good relationship with the coaching staff. He told On3 that he likes Lincoln Riley's offense at USC as a receiver and as far as Penn State is concerned, it seems as if the vibes were immaculate.
“I enjoyed having my family come out to meet the coaches and get a feel for the school and environment. The official visit was all we expected, plus more," he said.
Ultimately, one of these programs is going to be getting a big-time wide receiver commitment. According to the 247Sports Composite, Simms is the No. 32 wideout in the country.
