Zach Sims brings dual-threat upside and freshman poise to Alabama State’s QB room
In the 2024 season, Zach Sims showed flashes as a young quarterback for Alabama State: he played in five games with four starts, completed 19 of 43 passes for 194 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception, and added 7 rushing yards on 15 carries. He stands out for his size and dual-threat background, with reliable reports noting he was a three-time Alabama state championship quarterback at Thompson High and had good enough mobility to be viewed as a potential fit in a run-friendly offense. The fit question is simple: if a team wants a developmental QB with arm talent, composure, and some run-game juice, Sims is interesting; if it wants proven high-volume passing production, he’s still a work in progress.
