Reports: Mizzou football lands its portal quarterback
Austin Simmons, with two years of eligibility left, signed with Missouri after limited starts and an ankle injury at Ole Miss, filling a key quarterback vacancy.
- Tuesday morning, Jan. 6, 2025, Missouri signed former Ole Miss quarterback Austin Simmons via the transfer portal, multiple reports confirmed.
- Missouri's vacancy at quarterback emerged after Beau Pribula entered the transfer portal following an injury-plagued 2025 season, leading analysts to favor Simmons, who entered on Jan. 2 with a no-contact tag.
- The left-handed signal-caller is a 6-foot-4, 215-pound quarterback with two seasons of eligibility remaining, and he threw 6 touchdowns and 5 interceptions at Ole Miss.
- His arrival immediately creates a competition at Missouri with freshman Matt Zollers and positions Austin Simmons to replace Beau Pribula as the likely 2026 starter, though Simmons is expected to remain with Ole Miss through the College Football Playoff.
- The timing means Austin Simmons may stay with Ole Miss through the CFP semifinal on Jan. 8 while Missouri adds a high-profile transfer to boost an offense with Ahmad Hardy.
