It appears to be a two-team race right now for John I Leonard (Boca Raton, FL) running back/cornerback prospect Damian Sims, as Virginia Tech and Kansas State have moved ahead of the pack.

“It’s really between Virginia Tech and Kansas State,” Sims said. “I’m very interested in both of those schools. I really like what the depth chart looks like for both teams. Kevin Jones is leaving and Darren Sproles will be a senior, so I could potentially play really early if I work hard enough. Both schools came to my house and spoke with my Mom. My Mom liked both of the coaching staffs a lot.”

Both Virginia Tech and Kansas State have told Sims they are recruiting him to play running back, however he will get a look at cornerback as well. He is considered an athlete, with the versatility to play either position.

Sims made an official visit to Kansas State on December 20th. He has not yet been to Virginia Tech, however is scheduled to visit Blacksburg on January 31st.
