It’s unknown what the main reason for Simmons’ exit was.
The Fort Pierce, Fla. redshirted his first and only season in Lincoln. Last year, Simmons suffered a scary neck injury in fall camp.
The former three-star linebacker was expected to compete for playing time in Nebraska’s inside linebacker rotation. The Huskers will have plenty of linebacker spots to solidify in Bob Diaco’s new 3-4 defense.
Nebraska has not officially announced the departures of Johnson Jr. or Simmons yet.
