College career

Georgia Tech

Following the team's

upset victory against the Florida State Seminoles at Doak Campbell Stadium.[11] Sims completed 24 of 35 passes for 277 passing yards and accumulated 64 rushing yards.[12][13] With the game, Sims became the first true freshman quarterback to play in a season opener for the Yellow Jackets since Reggie Ball in 2003 and the first to win a season opener.[14] For his performance, Sims was named Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) rookie of the week and 247Sports.com's true freshman of the week,[15][16] and was recognized in weekly lists put out by the Davey O'Brien Award and the Manning Award.[17][18][19] Following this debut, the Yellow Jackets suffered two defeats, losing 49–21 to the UCF Knights and 37–20 to the Syracuse Orange.[20][21] In the latter game, Sims threw four interceptions.[22]

Sims showed some improvement in his sophomore campaign, throwing for 1,468 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions - along with 372 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns in 5 starts. However, he shared the role of starting quarterback with freshman Jordan Yates, as the Yellow Jackets finished with a 3-9 record and once again missed out on bowl eligibility.[23] On November 27, 2022, Sims announced his decision to enter the transfer portal.
