The 5-foot-8, 150-pound prospect is from Olathe North High School in Olathe, Kansas. Olathe North is home to a handful of prominent football players, such as Isaiah Simmons, Darren Sproles and Marcel Spears Jr.
Simmons Jr. is a dual-sport athlete and holds an offer from Tulsa football to play wide receiver. His father is former Northwestern and NFL wide receiver Sam Simmons Sr.
Tennessee does not have any commitments for its 2026 basketball recruiting class. The Vols have five commitments in their 2025 basketball recruiting class: forward DeWayne Brown, small forward Amari Evans, point guard Troy Henderson, forward Nate Ament and shooting guard Clarence Massamba.
