AJ Simpkins is a sturdy, dual-threat Columbia QB with real upside in limited snaps
In the 2025 season, AJ Simpkins was a senior quarterback for Columbia who appeared in two games and scored a rushing touchdown in the finale at Cornell, while his 2024 season showed a little more juice: he completed 2 of 2 passes for 74 yards in the win at Brown and also added nine rushing yards on two carries. At 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, he brings a pro-style frame, enough mobility to matter, and the kind of team-first, high-pressure mentality that shows up off the stat sheet. He looks like a fit for a system that values depth, composure, and quarterback versatility.
