What Auburn football player said about program’s offseason personality tests
This offseason, Auburn football administered personality tests to its players and coaches. Here’s what the Tigers said about it at SEC media days.
This story will be updated.
AUBURN — Malcolm Simmons, a sophomore wide receiver with the Auburn football program, has been arrested on assault charges of domestic violence by strangulation or suffocation, according to the Lee County Sherriff’s Office recent arrest database.
Simmons, 20, was booked at midnight Wednesday. His bond was set at $20,000. The Auburn football program has yet to respond to the Montgomery Advertiser’s request for comment.
According to Alabama state law, the charge of domestic violence by strangulation or suffocation is a Class B felony, meaning a defendant could face a prison sentence between two and 20 years, and a monetary fine of up to $30,000 upon conviction.
Simmons’ arrest was the program’s second this offseason, as linebacker DJ Barber was arrested July 7 in Dadeville on charges of trafficking in marijuana, unlawful possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
Barber has since been dismissed from the program.
A former four-star recruit from Alexander City, Simmons shined in his true freshman season, catching 40 passes for 451 receiving yards and three touchdowns, putting him in line for a starting position this season.
