  • Simons was born on January 16, 1914 in New Orleans and later attended the Isidore Newman School. Simons' father, Claude "Monk" Simons, Sr., served as the head coach for the Tulane baseball, basketball, track, and boxing teams, and as the Tulane football team trainer from 1926 until his death in 1943. Simons attended Tulane University, where he played football as the team's "star kicking and passing halfback," and earned varsity letters from 1932 to 1934. During the 1934 season, Simons helped lead Tulane to a comeback win over Pop Warner's Temple in the inaugural Sugar Bowl, 20–14. Simons scored touchdowns on 75- and 83-yard rushes. Tulane finished with a 10–1 record, and won a share of the Southeastern Conference co-championship. The Associated Press selected Simons to its All-America third team. For the season, Simons led the team in rushing, passing, and scoring.
