Arizona State quarterback Jeff Sims announced on Thursday he is declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft.
Sims’ announcement comes one day after he put up a career-best performance against Duke in the Sun Bowl, throwing for a career-high 375 passing yards and three touchdowns. He also added 70 yards on the ground for two scores in the Sun Devils’ 42-39 loss to the Blue Devils.
“Coach Kenny Dillingham, thank you for believing in me and giving me the opportunity when others did not,” Sims said in an Instagram post. “I am forever grateful for the chance you took on me.”

Sims threw for 277 yards and a touchdown, while adding 64 yards on the ground as the Yellow Jackets beat the Seminoles, 16-13.

In six starts, Sims and the Sun Devils went 3-3, winning three in a row against Iowa State, West Virginia and Colorado. He was named the Associated Press National Player of the Week after rushing for 228 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 177 yards and a passing touchdown against Iowa State.
