Austin Simmons Reportedly Returning to Missouri on New Contract, Will Skip 2027 NFL Draft

Missouri quarterback Austin Simmons has signed a contract to return for the 2027 season, per ESPN's Pete Thamel.

Per On3's Pete Nakos, Simmons could still enter the 2027 draft even with the new deal.

The contract, though, certainly points to Simmons playing another season in Missouri for his final year of NCAA eligibility.

The latest B/R NFL Scouting Department 2027 mock draft placed Simmons 13th overall to the Cleveland Browns.
