College football is right around the corner, but top basketball recruit Ben Simmons is making headlines. Les Miles recently spoke about the possibility of the 6-foot-10 star playing on the gridiron.
“If he can catch, and certainly we would all predict in this room that he could, he will set the NCAA record for touchdowns. We’ll just send him over there, and when three guys are on him, we’ll run it, OK? When two guys are on him, we’ll throw him the ball.”
Word has got back to Simmons and he had this to say:
I’ve heard a few things from Baton Rouge. Coach Miles, I can play wideout. I been waiting for my opportunity a little bit. Finally getting my opportunity to play football, so we’ll see what we can do,” Simmons said.
