Missouri’s QB1 Showdown: Ole Miss Transfer Faces Off in Unexpected Battle for Starting Spot
“They both have really special arm talent,” a source told Nakos. “We just have to keep working on their decision-making and their ability to run the offense.”
According to the same source, there is little separation between the two, but currently, Simmons has the slight edge.
Simmons has won a quarterback battle before. After redshirting his freshman year behind Jaxson Dart, he became Dart’s backup in 2024, playing in nine games. He entered the 2025 season in a battle with Trinidad Chambliss and won the job. He started the first two games of the year, but hurt his ankle in the game against Kentucky, allowing Chambliss to take over. Chambliss would take the job and never let it go, leading to Simmons transferring to Missouri, but staying with the program through the College Football Playoff run.
