A two-time Honorable Mention All-American, Simms was a First Team All-ECAC selection in 1960 and a First Team AP All-East choice. He led the 1960 and 1961 teams in rushing. Described as the East's best fullback in his senior year, his best asset was his power running ability. He paced the 1960 team in scoring with six TDs. He scored the go-ahead touchdown vs. Columbia to preserve the undefeated season in 1961. With 205 career rushes, he gained 1,240 career yards for an astounding 6.0 yards per attempt.
