N.C. A&T's Simmons transfers to WSSU

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Jerome Simmons is aware of the rivalry between Winston-Salem State and N.C. A&T.

Simmons, a 6-8 power forward, has transferred from N.C. A&T to WSSU in search of more playing time. As for the chance of him wearing any of his A&T sweat shirts or t-shirts at WSSU – that won’t happen.

“No, I’ll be leaving that stuff behind,” Simmons said.

Simmons, who is 225 pounds and says he is a defensive-minded player, is looking ahead to a new challenge. He’ll have two seasons of eligibility and is the third former Division I player who will join the Rams this season.

The two other Division I players who have committed to WSSU are Reyvon Harris of Niagara and Keith Armstrong of East Carolina. Harris and Armstrong have both graduated and have one season of eligibility remaining.
