Upland High School All-CIF cornerback Corey Sims verbally committed to Sacramento State of the FCS, formerly Division I-AA, on Monday, according to Upland assistant coach Mike Esquivel. Sims led the Highlanders with five interceptions and six pass break-ups on a defense that carried Upland to a CIF championship allowing less than 11 points per game.

The 5-foot-11, 182-pound speedster was the top vote-getter among All-CIF-SS Central Division defensive backs. He made 40 tackles and played a fair amount of running back for Upland, averaging over 10 yards per carry. Sims ran for 245 yards and four TDs as a senior and caught three passes for 74 yards.
