Sims was a running back in college, starting his career at Oklahoma State where he was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team, before also playing at Lamar and concluding his career at Abilene Christian where he earned his bachelor of science in kinesiology. He also earned a master of science degree from North Texas.
