Simpson was a third-team All-America in 1991-92 by both the Basketball Times and Division II Bulletin and earned honorable mention All-America honors from the Basketball Gazette. A two-time first-team All-MIAA performer, he is the last Lion to earn MIAA Player of the Year accolades, doing so in 1992. He was tabbed the conference’s newcomer of the year in 1991 and is one of 13 players in MSSC history to score 1,000 or more points (1,097), and accomplished the feat despite playing just two years with the Green & Gold. Now a resident of Los Angeles, Calif., he ranks third in Lions’ history with a career scoring average of 19.2 points per game
