Youngstown State’s Stephen Sims is a local, versatile redshirt freshman with upside
Stephen Sims enters the 2026 season at Youngstown State as a redshirt freshman from Warren Harding, and the appeal is obvious: he brings local toughness, dual-threat high school production, and a compact 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame that fits a fast, physical role. In high school, he showed playmaking juice as both a receiver and defensive back, including 906 receiving yards and 12 touchdown catches as a junior, plus two-way impact on defense. He’s the kind of under-the-radar prospect a staff can develop into a reliable, high-effort fit.
