Catholic receiver Freddie Simmons decommitted from Rutgers and is exploring his options, which include two official visits already set. [URL='http://recruiting.At their request, this network is being blocked from this site./a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=7328055'][U]Freddie Simmons[/U][/URL] knew for a while he didn’t feel comfortable with his commitment to [URL='http://rutgers.At their request, this network is being blocked from this site./'][U]Rutgers[/U][/URL], but he waited for the season to end to make his decision known to Scarlet Knights coach Kyle Flood. Now Simmons, a receiver from Bethlehem (Pa.) Catholic, is focused on a handful of other schools – [URL='http://wakeforest.At their request, this network is being blocked from this site./'][U]Wake Forest[/U][/URL], [URL='http://sandiegostate.At their request, this network is being blocked from this site./'][U]San Diego State[/U][/URL], [URL='http://washingtonstate.At their request, this network is being blocked from this site./'][U]Washington State[/U][/URL], Syracuse, [URL='http://ucf.At their request, this network is being blocked from this site./'][U]UCF[/U][/URL] and [URL='http://pennstate.At their request, this network is being blocked from this site./'][U]Penn State[/U][/URL]. He has official visits set to Wake Forest (Jan. 16) and San Diego State (Jan. 23) “I think the whole setting and location ….the whole reason I decommitted is I didn‘t get to visit any schools with an official visit and when I visited (Rutgers) I wasn’t comfortable,” Simmons said of his trip to the game against [URL='http://wisconsin.At their request, this network is being blocked from this site./'][U]Wisconsin[/U][/URL]. “I was driving around campus and looking around and I didn’t feel comfortable. I didn’t want to go there.” Simmons said it was tough calling Flood to decommit and added the news did not go over well, but he felt like he needed to do it because he needs to look at his future. “Hopefully, I will make more visits in December,” Simmons said. “I don’t think anything is going to happen right now. I just decommitted so I have Penn State coaches direct messaging me on twitter. So we will see where that leads. I hope they offer.” The school recruiting Simmons the hardest is Wake Forest. “Everybody is recruiting me,” he said. “Everybody on the coaching staff is talking to me. “ Meanwhile, the trip to San Diego State should give Simmons a look at a program he doesn’t know much about. His contact with the Aztecs is assistant Tony White. “He said they would throw the ball more if they had the weapons,” Simmons said. “He’s been telling me it’s so nice out there. I’m looking forward to it. It’s crazy.” On the opposite climate spectrum is Washington State, but the Cougars are also a dream when it comes to the type of offense Simmons would like to play in. “They throw the ball every play,” Simmons said. “That’s a big deal. I could red-shirt and fight for playing time and play early.” Meanwhile, [URL='http://syracuse.At their request, this network is being blocked from this site./'][U]Syracuse[/U][/URL] is talking to Simmons about the room it has in its class. “They said I’m the only receiver they are recruiting,” he said. “They said if I don’t commit, they aren’t taking any other receiver.” [/QUOTE]
