Jashanti Simmons comes to Troy via Georgia Highlands College in Rome, GA. Same JC that Khalil Waters attended prior to Troy.

Jashanti Simmons took the ball on a drive to the basket and took a hard tumble to the floor on the shot attempt, lying on the floor for several moments in obvious pain, hardly able to move as her left arm was crumpled beneath her. She eventually made it back to the bench where she spent the next few minutes recuperating. In her absence, Jones College made a run to cut a double-digit lead down to eight with about three minutes left in the third period, and Simmons made her way back into the game. The first time she touched the ball, she drilled a 3-point goal from the right wing, and that helped Georgia Highlands re-establish a double-digit lead. She then drained two key free throws down the stretch to help the Lady Chargers keep the Bobcats at arm’s length en route to an 81-74 victory in an NJCAA Tournament semifinal. "Jashanti is a special offensive player, so anytime she’s on the floor we’re going to be a little bit better offensively," Georgia Highlands coach Brandon Harrell said. "But Jashanti also has the ability to make her teammates around her, get them more offensive opportunities. She gets a lot of attention and creates cracks and opportunities for her teammates.
