For the Rams this past season, he recorded 23 solo tackles, 31 assisted tackles, 19 sacks with 25 quarterback hurries, two pass breakups and an interception, along with 11 tackles for loss.
At Hollister-San Benito High, Sims was named a first-team all-Central Coast Section pick and was a two-time all-league first-team selection.
