The Blue Devils and head coach [autotag]Manny Diaz[/autotag] refuse to slow down on the 2025 recruiting trail.
Kavon Simmons, a Class of 2025 quarterback from Wake Forest, North Carolina, revealed his commitment to the Blue Devils on Friday morning.
COMMITTED,” Simmons wrote on X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter). “thank you to everyone who made this possible!”
Simmons revealed that the Blue Devils extended an offer to him on Sunday after his official visit with the program last weekend. While he played quarterback at Wake Forest High School as a junior last season, 247Sports’ Adam Rowe reported that the Blue Devils want him to play wide receiver.
During the Cougars’ 2023 campaign, Simmons finished with 1,999 passing yards and 711 rushing yards, averaging 6.7 yards every time he touched the ball. He found the end zone 19 times with his arm and 15 more times on the ground.
A two-sport athlete, Simmons also plays point guard for the basketball team. He finished last season with 9.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
He’s measured at 6-foot-2 and 170 pounds.
