Former Elon shooting guard TJ Simpkins committed to Seton Hall out of the NCAA transfer portal. He’ll now play for the Pirates in 2025-26.

Simpkins’ twin brother TK committed to Oregon after leaving Elon. Now, they’ll play in different locations for next season.

Last season, TJ Simpkins put up 14.6 points per game, 3.8 rebounds per game, 2.9 assists per game and shot 40.8% from the floor. He was also 81.1% from the free-throw line.

As a member of the Class of 2023, Simpkins was not ranked, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He played his HS basketball at Liberty Heights Athletic Institute (N.C.).

Simpkins wasn’t the only add for Seton Hall in the transfer portal. The Pirates landed Merrimack transfer Adam “Budd” Clark in the portal.

Clark had a breakout year as a sophomore in 2024-25, averaging 19.8 points and 6.0 assists. He had a season-high 32 points twice, including in a close December loss to Stanford, and four double-doubles on the year.

As a freshman in 2023-24, Clark averaged 13.4 points and 3.9 assists per game. He will have two years of eligibility remaining as he makes his way to Seton Hall.

Adam “Budd” Clark is a Philadelphia native and played high school basketball at West Catholic Prep. He won a state title with the program before taking his skills to the college level in 2023.
