MBB: This is the third 2025 recruit to publicly commit to being a Racer
Just days after taking his official visit to Murray State, 2025 recruit Trey Simpson announced on X Monday night that he is “1000% commited” to becoming a Racer.
Simpson posted this video on his X account:
Simpson, a 6’7 forward from Evergreen, Alabama, was the Class 3A Player of the Year in Alabama last season, after averaging 15.9 points, 9.1 rebounds and 4.3 blocks per game for Hillcrest-Evergreen High School, as he helped lead the school to their first state championship since 2006.
