Junior college defensive end Tevin Mims (Corsicana, Texas/Navarro College) is ready for FBS play once again.
Mims, a 6-foot-4, 245-pound end who signed with Texas out of high school, has signed to play with South Florida after a year at Navarro. Mims collected 19 tackles and 3.5 sacks and helped the Bulldogs to a 10-2 record, a No. 5 ranking in the final NJCAA poll and a victory in the Heart Of Texas Bowl on Dec. 3 in Copperas Cove, Texas.
Coming out of Stony Point High School (Round Rock, Texas), Mims was considered one of the nation’s top defensive ends and most respected defensive players. Mims signed with the Longhorns in 2009 but left the program last year. He said his time at Navarro has allowed him to grow as a player and as a person.
