FCS All-American Shane Simpson reveals the unique way he decided to commit to Virginia
Shane Simpson sat in his room Sunday evening 10 minutes prior to announcing his transfer decision, still undecided.
Simpson, a 2018 FCS All-American running back from Towson, was choosing between Virginia and Texas.
The NFL hopeful sat down, prayed and asked God for a sign. He then wrote down “UVa” on three pieces of paper and “Texas” on another three pieces of paper. He put them in a hat, closed his eyes and picked the pieces of paper out of the hat.
“I put my hand in the hat. Literally all three times it was UVa, not once was it Texas,” Simpson said, “so that was my sign.”
Simpson says he felt a strong connection between both the Texas and Virginia coaching staffs, and if he drew Texas, he would’ve felt comfortable joining the Longhorns. Instead, he’s coming to Charlottesville.
