Four-star wide receiver Corey Simms, in an auditorium that appeared to have over 100 people watching, gave a little show before sharing which college he is committing to.

He had the hats of each of his top-three programs — USC, Missouri and Penn State — laid out on the table in front of him. One by one, he picked them up, feigned putting them on, and then took them off. Last was hometown Mizzou, as he stood up with the hat on his head before taking it off.

Simms pulled out a new cap, unzipped his jacket, and showed the world: It was the USC Trojans.

Simms, a Christian Brothers College (St. Louis, Mo.) receiver, announced his commitment to USC shortly after his junior year concluded. He had a strong football season, recording 79 receptions for 1,046 yards and 13 touchdowns, along with two interceptions, one of which was a pick-six, on the defensive end, according to his Hudl highlight pacakge.

Simms is ranked on the 247Sports Composite as the No. 33 receiver in the class of 2025 and third-best player in the state. He had 35 offers and had visited each of Penn State, Missouri and USC since May 31.

The receiver told On3 that the vision of wide receivers coach Dennis Simmons and the weather were among the factors of his decision. He added that he feels like he “fit(s) in with the USC family.”

“Coach Simmons said they’re gonna throw the ball, they have great academics, a great support system and it feels like home,” Simms said to the recruiting outlet. “And it’s not really that cold here in the winter. When I was there in the winter, they said that’s the coldest it gets there. It’s amazing.”

The Trojans’ recruiting class of 2025, headlined by quarterback Julian Lewis, now has 12 commits. The class is ranked No. 21 in the country.
