Reading Express GM/Head Coach Bernie Nowotarski today signed former West Chester University standout Brandon Simmons. The 6’ 195lb Simmons played Wide Receiver during his 4 year career at WCU. Brandon brings to the table a football resume that includes 1st Team All PSAC and 1st Team Division II All-American status. Brandon was a huge part of the Golden Rams offense in the 2004-05 regular seasons as well as their play-off run. Look for more Express player signings in the very near future.
