COLUMBUS ? Former Ohio State coach John Cooper had lost track of Jason Simmons over the years and didn't know where the player ended up after his failed attempt to make the NFL.

But Cooper can't believe that the Simmons, who rose up in the early 1990s to become a team captain and rank second on the school's all-time career sack list, could have landed in the Montgomery County Jail.

DAYTON ? A suspended Northmont Middle School teacher and ex-Ohio State football star accused of having sex with a 14-year-old student pleaded guilty Monday, May 12, to three felony counts of sexual battery.

Jason Simmons, 37, entered the plea Monday afternoon before Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Mary Wiseman. Three other charges of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor were dropped in exchange.

Wiseman set sentencing for 1 p.m. June 19. Simmons is free on bond until then.

Simmons faces up to five years in prison for each count and will be designated a Tier III Sex Offender, meaning he will have to report his address to the county sheriff for the rest of his life. He also faces permanent revocation of his Ohio Teaching License.
