Simons arrived to Knoxville from Oregon in fall 2022. He qualified for the 2023 NCAA Championships and was 15th in both the 100 and 200 backstroke events. His four individual points and 400 medley relay lead off helped Tennessee to a 7th place finish as a team.

He did not compete at all from June 2023-May 2024, in what would have been his sophomore season. Returning for the 2024-2025 season, he concluded his redshirt sophomore season at the 2025 SEC Championships a 23rd place finish in the 200 back as well as a 24th place finish in the 100 back.

Back in February, he had a meet at the 2026 SEC Championships. He swam to a lifetime best 1:39.04 for 4th in the 200 back as well as a 45.66 100 back for 14th but swam a 45.42 best time in prelims.

He went on to swim at the 2026 NCAA Championships and swam a personal best 1:38.21 in the 200 back prelims for 8th before going on to finish 7th in a 1:40.07 in the final. He also swam a lifetime best 44.93 in the 100 back for 18th. His 11 points in the 200 back helped Tennessee to a 5th place team finish.
