Clemson 4-star WR commit Jamarin Simmons out for rest of senior season
Clemson 4-star wide receiver commit Jamarin Simmons confirmed with Rivals on Tuesday morning that he is out for the rest of his senior season.
The news was first reported by 247 Sports, according to www.on3.com. Simmons will miss the remaining three games for Tallahassee (Fla.) Amos P. Godby.
Simmons did not disclose the reason behind the absence, per the Rivals report. The cause has not been confirmed.
WHAT HAPPENED
Simmons confirmed the news himself on Tuesday morning via Rivals, though he did not disclose the reason behind the absence. The cause has not been confirmed.
The four-star pledge is done for the remainder of the 2026 season, which cuts his senior campaign three games short. That means he will not suit up for Amos P. Godby’s final three regular-season contests.
Godby enters that closing stretch at 5-2 on the year, per Massey Ratings. The Cougars will face Wakulla, Suwannee and Lincoln, respectively, to close out the schedule.
Before the setback, Simmons led the Cougars statistically at his position through six games. He hauled in 31 catches for 576 yards and six touchdowns.
THE NUMBERS
Simmons’ production this season put him among the state’s best, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings. He sits at No. 9 among all prospects in Florida and No. 11 nationally at wide receiver.
Through six games as a senior, the four-star pledge caught 31 passes for 576 yards and six touchdowns. Those numbers led the Cougars statistically at his position before the injury.
His career totals stretch back to his freshman year in 2023. Since then, Simmons has amassed 147 catches for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns, per the source.
Amos P. Godby, ranked No. 47 in the state per Massey Ratings, closes the season with three games remaining. Simmons will not be part of that stretch, leaving the Cougars to finish without their top pass-catcher.
THE REACTION
The praise comes from someone who watched him up close. Rivals Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power offered a scouting summary of the Clemson commit, noting that "Jamarin Simmons made a strong push as the top wide receiver at Rivals Camp Miami."
Power detailed what made the four-star stand out during drills. "Simmons moves with suddenness and gracefulness within his routes," Power said. "He’s highly coordinated and effortlessly plucks the football with strong catching technique."
The evaluation also highlighted his work ethic on the field. "Simmons was also highly competitive, taking perhaps the most reps of any top receiver on the day," Power added.
No reaction from Simmons or Clemson staff is included in the source. The reason for his absence from the final three games of the season has not been confirmed, and no timeline for his return has been mentioned.
WHAT TO WATCH NEXT
Simmons will miss Godby’s final three games of the regular season: versus Wakulla, Suwannee, and Lincoln. The Cougars sit at 5-2 on the year, per Massey Ratings.
No timeline for his return or any further updates is mentioned in the source. The reason behind his early exit from the season has not been confirmed.
Simmons remains a Clemson commit for the 2026 class, per the source. Whether this injury affects his standing with the Tigers is not confirmed — the source does not state any impact on his Clemson status.
The four-star pledge’s high school career ends at 147 catches for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns since his freshman year in 2023. His next step is expected to be Clemson, though no official word from the program has been included.
