Despite an injury setback, Zephyrhills High School running back Antwione Sims’s college scholarship offer list continues to grow. Sims tore his anterior cruciate ligament, more commonly called ACL, in March. He recently received offers from the U.S. Naval Academy on June 30 and the University of South Alabama on June 23. The 5-foot-11, 193-pound back also has scholarship offers from Boston College, Bryant (Rhode Island) University, Mercer (Georgia) University, North Dakota State University, Presbyterian (South Carolina) College, University of South Dakota, Southern Illinois University, Troy (Alabama) University and Wofford (South Carolina) College. Sims ran for a school-record 2,093 yards and 24 touchdowns last season. He is expected to miss several games in 2016 due to the ACL injury.
“He’s going to get on the field as fast as he can,” first-year Bulldogs coach Nick Carroll said in April. “I know he’s very, very motivated.”
Various football-recruiting services list Sims as either a two-star or three-star recruit.
