KU football lands commitment

Olathe North High junior Victor Simmons has committed to Kansas, according to Rivals.com.

Simmons, who will be a senior in 2010, helped lead Olathe North to the 2009 Class 6A state football title and played most of his snaps as the Eagles’ quarterback. In doing so, he rushed for 1,000 yards. However, most of the schools that recruited him see his future on defense. Simmons, 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, played some safety for O-North and finished 2009 with 25 tackles.

Simmons chose Kansas over Kansas State, Missouri and Nebraska.
