Scout Report
Ask a prep coach what a 6-5 wing is worth in the 2028 cycle and the answer almost always comes back to one question: what does he do once the ball is in his hands and the defense is closing? Size gets a kid in the room. Skill decides whether he stays.
Background
Simpson plays for The Villages Charter, and the most useful context on the program is who else is in it. Aaron Britt Jr., a 2027 point guard ranked #52 nationally, has committed to Texas Tech. Jomar Bernard, a 2027 small forward ranked #91, has committed to Florida Atlantic. Herly Brutus, a 2026 small forward ranked #133, has committed to Butler. Hometown, family, and AAU history are not part of the information available for this report, so the picture here comes from the company he keeps. Practicing and playing alongside players with that level of recruiting attention tends to raise the bar for a younger wing.
Playing Style
A 6-5 small forward gets judged first on how he uses his size, and the questions go in a predictable order. Does he attack closeouts or settle for the first open look? Does he run in transition or wait for someone to set the table? Is his decision-making sound enough that a defense has to respect the pass as much as the shot? On the other end, the position asks whether he can guard multiple spots and keep his feet against bigger and quicker players. The profile fits the wing role that most college systems are built around, but fitting a role on paper is different from doing it consistently. Those are the answers a coach wants before committing a scholarship, and they are what separates a wing who fills a lineup from one who changes it.
Strengths
The starting point is the frame. At 6-5 with small forward listed as his position, he has the size that lets a program play him on the wing, guard a position up, or slide into a bigger lineup when needed. That versatility is valuable because it gives a coach more ways to build a lineup around him. The skills that would elevate him past that baseline are the ones coaches check on tape: how he finishes through contact, whether he can stretch the floor if he is asked to, and how he reads help defense. Those details aren't documented in the information provided here, so they should be verified in person before anyone builds a projection around them.
Areas to Watch
The next step for a wing this size is proving the skills that justify his minutes beyond the physical tools. A reliable jump shot, a handle that holds up under pressure, and consistent defensive effort are what move a 6-5 player from interesting to indispensable. Those are the areas where development time pays off fastest.
Player Comparison
No comparison is offered here. A 6-5 small forward is a common build, and matching him to an NBA or college player on size alone would be a guess rather than a scouting judgment.
Recruitment
No offers have been reported yet. For a player ranked #115 nationally in the class of 2028, the lack of offers at this stage is common, since most programs in this cycle tend to accelerate their evaluations through the spring and summer before senior year. The commitments of his teammates to Texas Tech, Florida Atlantic, and Butler show that the program has relationships with recruiters, though those relationships do not automatically translate into interest in him. No likely landing spot can be projected at this point. The next stretch of evaluation periods and any early contact from programs will shape the list more than anything written today.
Projection
The college ceiling depends on whether the size becomes a dependable skill set. If the shooting and ball skills develop, he could be a rotation wing at a mid-major or a useful high-major role player. If those skills lag, the size alone may keep him in the mix as a depth piece. The professional range is wide and too early to call. The most realistic path runs through college development first, and his value in the pros will hinge on the same question as in college: how much he can do beyond the frame.
