JACKSONVILLE — Ty Sims got his first collegiate interception with Jacksonville State football on Saturday.
With time winding down in the first quarter, Sims extended and grabbed an interception at the 10-yard line. He stumbled to the ground before getting up and returning the pick 84 yards to the Gamecocks ' five-yard line, after almost getting in the end zone.
The return was called back due to a block in the back but the Gamecocks were able to march down the field as Caden Creel found Jamill Williams for the third time on Saturday, this time a 30-yard connection. The Gamecocks led 21-0 with 11:30 left in the second quarter before the game entered a weather delay.
Sims was an all-state selection at Gadsden City, scoring five touchdowns and seven tackles on the year. He appeared in the North Dakota State game but did not record any stats.
