ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- JALEN "SCOOT" SIMMONS (Redshirt Sr., Running Back, 5-8, 205, Charlotte, NC) — The first 1,000-yard rusher since Will Ford (MEAC’s & S.C. State All-Time Leading Rusher) in 2009 returns to lead a high-powered offense for the Bulldogs this season. Missed the entire 2013 campaign due to shoulder injuries only to return to lead S.C. State to its 16th Mid-Eastern Athletic Championship in school history and second straight.* LAST SEASON: The leading rusher for South Carolina State with 209 carries for 1,154 yards and nine touchdowns last season. Ranked third in the MEAC in rushing last season behind All-MEAC running backs Tarik Cohen (N.C. A&T) and Her Walker Jr. (Morgan State), Simmons is looked upon to have a breakout senior season for the Bulldogs in 2015.
* SIMMONS’ OUTLOOK ON THE SEASON: “Of course the goal is to win the MEAC Championship outright and not share with any teams this season. My goal is to stay healthy and have another year season and perform better than I did last season.”
