Micah Simpson’s all-around rise has him set to drive Alabama State’s backcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Alabama State senior guard Micah Simpson was named Preseason All-SWAC Second Team after a breakout junior year in which he played all 36 games, averaged 6.6 points, shot 35.1% from the field, hit 51 threes, and led the Hornets in free-throw percentage at 81.1%[1][2]. He’s a tough, high-minute guard who brings steady shot-making, secondary playmaking, and pesty defense, and his jump to around 14 points per game in 2025-26 shows real usage growth and confidence[2][3][4]. If a team wants a seasoned, competitive guard who can stretch the floor, handle pressure, and keep the engine humming, Simpson is the kind of low-drama, high-value pickup that makes coaches smile.
