Auburn wide receiver Malcolm Simmons was arrested Wednesday, on a charge of domestic assault with strangulation or suffocation, according to the Lee County recent arrests database.
Simmons was booked into the Lee County Jail at 6:20 p.m. Wednesday evening and his bond is set at $20,000.
Auburn did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the arrest.
Simmons was one of many breakout freshmen for Auburn in 2024, catching 40 passes for 451 yards and three touchdowns. A four-star recruit out of Benjamin Russell High School in Alexander City, Simmons was part of the “Freeze four” group of blue-chip receivers in the Tigers’ 2024 signing class.
He’s the second Auburn player to be arrested in the last two weeks, following DJ Barber, who was arrested on multiple drug charges and dismissed from the team.
