  For every rep performed by former Virginia running back Shane Simpson on the bench press at the Cavaliers' Pro Day on Wednesday, he won't just be helping his NFL Draft stock, he'll be helping those battling rare diseases. The Towson transfer turned Virginia tailback joined forces with Uplifting Athletes ahead of his Pro Day. He's participating in the 2021 Reps for Rare Diseases campaign. Supporters can pledge a donation based on how many bench press reps Simpson records at Pro Day, and all proceeds will go to Uplifting Athletes, a charitable organization that raises money for rare disease research and awareness. Simpson learned of the organization this offseason and felt it would be a good one to support on Pro Day. "I wanted to do something that was bigger than myself and bigger than football," Simpson said. "Trying to give back in some way." - Charlottesville Daily Progress

  2021 SENIOR BOWL WATCH LIST: Shane Simpson, Virginia,...Simpson appeared in 35 career games for Towson over the 2015-19 seasons. He missed most of the 2015 and 2019 seasons with injuries and was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA for the 2020 campaign. Simpson was named a first-team FCS All-American in 2018 by the Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association and Hero Sports after finishing second in all of FCS with 171.5 all-purpose yards per game. He was named the 2108 CAA Special Teams Player of the Year and was a three-time all-conference selection in 2018 (first-team at running back, second-team at kick returner and third-team at punt returner). - Virginia Football

  Simpson is entering his sixth season of college football after twice suffering season-ending knee injuries. He had more than 2,000 all-purpose yards in 2018, his last full season for Towson. "I would say that [Simpson is] a very seasoned player," Taulapapa said. "When you see him run the ball, when you see him go out for passes, when you see him block, … you can see he's been playing football for a long time. He's very educated on what's what." Delaware head coach Danny Rocco, formerly a Virginia assistant, has some good news for his former employers. "Hope he's back to healthy," Rocco commented. "He was a handful in this league."

That was the Colonial Athletic Association, which elected not to play football this fall in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. "Me picking UVa [at midweek] and then coming down here that Saturday, everything was real rapid with the paperwork and everything," said Simpson in an interview made available to media Monday. "Since I got here, they've treated me like family and I can't thank coach Mendenhall and his staff and my new brothers enough." Simpson was a high school standout in Easton, Pennsylvania, around the same time that current UVa defensive back DeVante Cross played at Parkland High School in nearby Allentown. "That's been my brother since 10th grade in high school," Simpson said. "It definitely was a smooth transition for me." - Roanoke Times

  If not for the CAA ruling, Simpson could have returned to Towson, where he had more than 2,000 all-purpose yards in 2018 and was a consensus FCS All-American. A list of teams said to be interested in Simpson included Texas, Penn State, Florida State, Duke and Wake Forest. Running backs coach Mark Atuaia was UVa's lead recruiter on Simpson, who had Foreman as a consultant. "First off, he's [Simpson] a great kid," Foreman said. "He works his tail off at everything he does. He takes great care of his body and is looking to get better at everything he does. "He had the best spring of his college career last year. He was coming off an All-American season his junior year. He had a tremendous first game; then, we went up to Maine and his ACL popped.

"He's not the biggest guy [at 5 foot 11 and 205 pounds]. He can always get the yards he needs inside the tackles, but he gets in space and he's special. He has tremendous lateral quickness." Simpson will join a UVa offense whose leading rusher last year, Bryce Perkins, was the quarterback. Wayne Taulapapa is the top returning rusher, coming off a 473-yard season. Premium punt returner Joe Reed is headed to the NFL and that is one of Simpson's specialties. "He's dynamic in that aspect of making people miss in small areas and the quickness and the burst to get away from defenders," Foreman said. "As a running back, he's going to be very dynamic." - Roanoke Times

  Virginia's running back room improved Sunday. Shane Simpson, a versatile running back from Towson, announced that he's heading to UVa as a graduate transfer. Simpson is eligible to play this fall, which will be his final collegiate season. The NFL prospect opted to enter the transfer portal after the Colonial Athletic Association canceled its fall football season due to COVID-19. In the past few days, he's been fielding offers from FBS schools, hoping to make a quick decision ahead of a potential fall season. Simpson, who was an FCS All-American in 2018, played just three games in 2019 before suffering a season-ending knee injury. A fall season could give him the chance to prove his regained health to NFL scouts, while also showcasing his ability at the Power 5 level. When healthy, Simpson dominated the FCS level. The 5-foot-9 running back features game-changing speed and elusiveness. He's a shifty runner with great hands. - Charlottesville Daily Progress

  Shane Simpson accounted for three scores that included a 4-yard touchdown run with 1:27 left to push Towson past The Citadel 28-21 on Saturday in a season opener. The Cadets had just taken their only lead, 21-20 with 3:31 remaining, when Brandon Rainey tossed a 9-yard touchdown pass to Raleigh Webb in the back of the end zone. Towson's Tom Flacco answered on the next possession, completing three straight passes and breaking loose for a 25-yard run before Simpson scored to cap the six-play drive. On the next series, Coby Tippett intercepted Rainey's pass attempt on The Citadel's first play from scrimmage to seal the victory for the Tigers.

Simpson caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from Flacco in the first quarter and also had a 45-yard touchdown run midway through the second quarter that pushed the Tigers' lead to 17-7. Simpson finished with 74 yards rushing and had four catches for 37 yards. Flacco was 21-of-36 passing for 328 yards. Rainey had 166 yards rushing on 32 carries and completed three of four pass attempts for 24 yards. The Tigers, who last season finished 7-5 and earned a FCS playoff berth for the first time since 2013, entered the game ranked No. 11 in the FCS STATS preseason poll. They hadn't been ranked in the preseason poll since 2008. - AP College Football
