  08/10/22 - QB Jeff SimsrSr/2025, Transfer

  It was clear from his first snap that Georgia Tech's Jeff Sims was no ordinary freshman. The big man with quick feet was too slippery for the Seminoles. Sims delivered sizzling passes with a flick of his right wrist. He seemed unfazed by making his college debut at Florida State. The Yellow Jackets won as two-touchdown underdogs that day in September 2020 largely because Sims made plays where none seemed available. The Jackets had a quarterback who could make their painful transition from the triple-option not last too long. Sims has shown flashes of the same magic since then: big plays, big moments, big victories. Consistency is what's been missing. Maybe it wouldn't be if not for injuries. Sims hurt his shoulder in the opener last season, sat out two games and then returned to play a month of good football before going back on the injury list.

Sims still is the player who can elevate Tech's offense. A great season for him would mean Tech finally breaks through after being stuck on three wins for three consecutive seasons. Sims has played 18 games for Tech. It just seems longer because he made such a strong first impression. Now is the time for Sims' talent, experience and maturity to coalesce. "My mindset has definitely changed," Sims said Saturday at Tech's media day. "I'm an older guy now. I'm not worried about a lot of things I used to worry about. I'm not worried about outside noise and things like that. On the physical side, I've been putting in a lot of work, too." There's a lot of work to do. Tech is replacing pretty much every offensive starter from 2021, including star running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Lots of new players in the lineup isn't necessarily a bad thing for the Jackets. - Atlanta Journal Constitution
