Atlanta – Case for Ole miss Football optimism lies in two this year Austin semens Relief presence against Georgia last year.
The first came in April 2024, number 23 in Bulldog in the seventh inning of the second game of Baseball Double-Hader. A laftty reliever semons, came to preserve a lead and hit two batsmen, including the final MLB number 3 overall draft pick Charlie Kondon“Slider, in,” Ole Miss Baseball coach Mike Bianco.
On 9 November, the second in Oxford with a little more pomp, as the semens number 3 came for a series against Georgia on the football ground. Wounded quarterback relief Jackson dartSemans led Ole Miss to tie the game with an ineffective cool on 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive. “Just went out of there and dominated,” Simmons recalled with an uniform illegal. “Just trusted my preparation.”
Bianco witnessed the first relief demonstration from the rebel dugout and was not surprised when the second precious lafti with each other appeared at the Watt-Hemingway Stadium.
Bianco told ESPN by phone, “Compocher did not surprise any of us.” “He is a special man, physically and mentally. I know he is not yet a starter, but to see what he has done and his presence on the mound in SEC … is special for that creation and faith for him.”
Even with the eyes of SEC on the first year full -time starter Arch manningSemans are loose as one of the most important characters of the league for 2025. He is ready to become one of the country’s breakout players, if tangibers and integibilities translate on a large platform.
“I just want people to understand just that there are going to be too much moments,” said Semans.
Why? He said flatly: “I know I am made for it.”
The actions of Ole Miss Coach Lane Kiffin show their faith in that result. Semans reserved adequate talent in two sessions to keep the famous portal king as a reserve, as Kiffin is known, out of the top-end quarterback market of this offsen.
For the first time when Kifin saw Simmons throwing on the film, he immediately saw his loose latency stroke and said: “He only has a tuber.”
“There is no way to teach anyone,” Kifin said about the semens in Alabama and their former quarterbacks, Tu tagovelloaNow a Southpow with Miami Dolphin. “That’s all they have.”
The unique ability is jibbs with an unconventional path that honors rare hand talent. Semans graduated two years ago from High School and already Missed with a degree in a multi -script study from this spring. If he was particularly stuck with baseball, according to Bianco, the semens would have been a high -round major league baseball pick.
The 19 -year -old Simmons, in many ways, is designed for his entire life for this moment. His father, Dave, is a former college and professional coach who trained him intensively in both football and baseball.
Semans are the third of the seven brothers, the age of 6 to 30 years. The first six are left handed, and Simmons said that the youngest brother, Nathan has not declared a major hand: “He is still very young, so he is still trying to find out,” said Austin Semans. “He wants to throw with both hands, so he cannot just pick up one.”
There is a contradiction for the semons as he prepares to start for the first time in his college football career. His entire path has been carefully choreographed for nearly a decade, yet in his third year of college, he is just starting.
“I just feel that this is just the beginning, honestly, because I am just reaching that capacity,” he said. “This is my first year that really shows itself and clearly, no one really knows who I am to that first SEC game. Therefore, I can’t just wait to experience that moment, really show everyone who I am.”
Georgia coach Kirby Smart is not a risk of exaggeration. And when the relief football appearance of the semons from the decline is brought up, it is clear that the 10-play drive has been kept in their memory since eight months in advance.
“He went there with snow in his veins,” Smart said. “He played without any prohibition and really played well.”
For someone in such a hurry to nominate two years ago, it is a counter to praising his patience. But this is what he has shown in football waiting for his turn and is developing behind the dart.
And now that his time has come, he brings a confidence and command that is accompanied by a lifetime preparation for this time. Semans’ father, Dave, has cured his athletic training to maximize his skills in both football and baseball.
Dave Semans have an intimacy for Hyperbole, and they estimate that when Austin Semens were growing up, they were playing for about eight hours a day either either football and baseball practiced, trained to play or stretching like stretching to customize and optimize treatment and performance.
He says that Ole Miss is really easy for her son, now that she leaves baseball behind this spring and focuses only on a game. “He had actually become air -conditioned to be a professional athlete,” Dave Simmons said.
Austin Semans say that not playing baseball has been “amazing”. He said, “Less stress on my arm.”
These days in college football, being an early quarterback, it is similar to being a professional athlete: work, salary and spotlight. Semans admit that, and say that the years of their consumption by intensive training have prepared them for the dazzling of SEC.
They discovers that they did not have the same social life, as most teenagers are older, an by -product of the intensity of their diet.
Austin Simmons said, “Two games are being invested, you capture the whole year, so basically you are really removing social life at the same time.” “I’m still building, I am still experiencing social experiences with my colleagues, but this is not the same when you are in the real world and this way it is. So I’m learning now.”
There is not a lot of social life outside the house for semens in Oxford. He accepts to be a pinch of a meal, and he enjoys local spots toys, grillhouse Oxford and Oxford Burger Company. (With regular chipll stop). Mostly, he lives inside.
“Usually,” he said, “I find all my peace at home.”
And all this is part of the preparation for semens, who grew up with his father, emphasizing a simple message: “If you are a quarterback, you are different. Once you understand that, you are fine.”
The message resonates at the point where he handles the most hostile atmosphere with an anterior calm. He promises that there is much more to come.
“A drive does not really define me as a quarterback,” said Semans. “People are going to see how I play against better competition.”
Lane kiffin desires He can describe properly as a football leaves the left hand of the Austin Semans. There is a smoothness, a liquidity and crispness of how it jumps on release. He is uncertain about articulation – “I’m sure there are big words for him” – but more in nature is more in nature than confidence in natural ability.
“There is no way that you teach any of them,” Kiphin said. “I don’t know [anything] About Golf, but I am sure there is a lot inside the golf swing where there is a coach, ‘Dude, the man just has this incredible swing. I can’t really teach it. ‘I feel like this is so. ,
So what can we translate that natural talent for semens and ole missed? This is a question that will hover on the SEC race, as Ole Miss will be favored in its first four matches before the LSU hosted in late September.
Along with losing the dart, three years of starter and final round pick, Ole Miss ESPN’s Bill Connali gives the least production returns to SEC Returning Production RankingGone is the leading runner and receiver and four early aggressive linemen.
While there is uncertainty around semen’s tributaries and experiences, there is a strong feeling about their talent level and roof. Kiffin miraculously performed his ability to squeeze the balls in tight windows, dumped different hands from angles and took over everything throwing it.
Even with an interval between the spotlight of the spot artist and the SEC, there is a confidence in talent to carry through the transition.
“It is easy to come as a reliever, both situations, pitching and quarterbacks, and now come in and become men,” Kiphin said. “So a lot of work is to be done with him, but he has a very high roof.”
