Mississippi State will allow highly touted signee Jeffery Simmons to enroll in school and join the football team while facing misdemeanor assault charges for striking a woman during a fight in March.

Mississippi State announced Thursday that Simmons will be suspended for the first game of his college career, be evaluated by “licensed professionals at the university’s Student Counseling Services and be required to complete any program prescribed by that office.”

Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin defended the decision at the Southeastern Conference’s annual spring meetings Thursday in Destin, Florida, saying “five seconds of a really poor choice shouldn’t preclude an individual from going to school.”

Take care of your own house before throwing stones. POS beat a WOMAN. No way to defend that.

He seems to be doing well now.

You seem to be anti-rehabilitation of young African-American males.

Thanks for the advice but that has been taken care of, by the courts and the university.

Just like our probation, incurred while recruiting illegally, we took the punishment and moved forward.
