Oh, my gosh. I almost cried when I read this. I do wish we’d been able to keep him, he’s a special young man. I wish him all the best at Missouri. I’ll miss knowing that no one will be able to say, “And under center for the Rebs is Dr. Austin Simmons.” Prayers and a little sadness go with you, Austin.
Last spring, my son and I were in Oxford for a Saturday baseball game. We were right above 1st base. Austin came down the aisle below us and kids started lining up. He patiently signed autographs and posed for pictures. Then he approached a guy in a wheelchair. Austin kneeled down to this guy’s level and they talked for a while. Then Austin left, but came back in a few minutes with food and a soft drink for the man in the wheelchair.
I became a big Austin Simmons fan that day.
