\u201cCoach Kenny Dillingham, thank you for believing in me and giving me the opportunity when others did not,\u201d Sims said in an Instagram post<\/a>. \u201cI am forever grateful for the chance you took on me.\u201d<\/p>\n The 6-foot-4, 220-pound QB finishes his college career after six seasons between Georgia Tech, Nebraska and Arizona State.<\/p>\n Sims started his career at Georgia Tech in 2020. His first game was against Florida State, whose offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the time was Coach Dillingham. Sims threw for 277 yards and a touchdown, while adding 64 yards on the ground as the Yellow Jackets beat the Seminoles, 16-13.<\/p>\n Sims spent three seasons with Georgia Tech, before transferring to Nebraska for the 2023 season. He appeared in just five games with the Cornhuskers before redshirting the season.<\/p>\n Sims transferred to ASU prior to the 2024 season. He appeared in 13 games with seven starts for the Sun Devils in two seasons, throwing for 1,429 yards, 10 touchdowns and six interceptions while adding 637 yards on the ground and six scores.<\/p>\n He saw much of his time at ASU as a backup behind Sam Leavitt before being named the starting QB prior to ASU\u2019s Week 7 game against Utah after Leavitt went down with a foot injury. Sims was later named the starting QB for the rest of the season after Leavitt underwent season-ending foot surgery.<\/p>\n In six starts, Sims and the Sun Devils went 3-3, winning three in a row against Iowa State, West Virginia and Colorado.
