Auburn Football Star Faces Shocking Arrest: What This Means for the Team’s Future
The arrest is not Auburn’s first legal issue this month. Earlier this July, linebacker DJ Barber was arrested on drug trafficking charges and dismissed from the team within 48 hours. Two player arrests in less than two weeks have cast a spotlight on player conduct, oversight, and program culture under Freeze — a coach brought in to engineer a turnaround both on the field and within the locker room.
The severity of Simmons’ charge—domestic assault by strangulation—is significant. This isn’t a minor infraction. In many jurisdictions, such charges are considered felony-level offenses, and they often carry heightened penalties due to the nature of physical harm and risk involved. If convicted, Simmons faces potential prison time and almost certain removal from the Auburn roster.
