MY Shower Door signs Peter Simmons III, University of Michigan football rising freshman, Bishop Verot alumni
Company first in Florida to sign a college athlete since the new NCAA rule was announced.
One of Florida’s fastest-growing companies, MY Shower Door, is proud to announce that it has officially signed the University of Michigan rising freshman football player Peter Simmons III to represent the MY Shower Door brand.
Simmons III is the son of the former mayor of Bonita Springs, Peter Eric Simmons, and a proud Bishop Verot alumnus. MY Shower Door may be the first to sign a college athlete since the NCAA announced its new rule that went into effect as of July 1, 2021, allowing college athletes to monetize their name, image, and likeness.
“We are proud to partner with Peter Simmons III to promote our brand and more importantly to continue our mission of supporting youth entrepreneurism and sports. Our team at MY Shower Door is excited to follow Peter’s college football career with the Wolverines and proud to have him representing our company.” ~ Bill Daubmann, MY Shower Door Co-owner
A local hometown football star, Peter Simmons III was an Offensive Lineman for the Bishop Verot Vikings and a 2021 graduate of Bishop Verot High School located in Fort Myers, FL. After receiving numerous college offers, the 6-3, 305-pound Simmons III committed to the University of Michigan Wolverines on November 26, 2020. Now a freshman with the Wolverines, Simmons III looks forward to a stellar career in the Big 10.
“This is such an exciting time for college athletes, and I am honored to represent MY Shower Door during my college football career with the Wolverines. I think it is great that the NCAA now allows college athletes to be rewarded and compensated for our name and likeness. It is very exciting to have our hard work and dedication over the years recognized. As the fourth consecutive generation to attend the University of Michigan, and having my great grandfather being part of the team that dug the hole for the BIG HOUSE in the 1920s, this truly is a dream come true.” ~ Peter Simmons III, University of Michigan football rising freshman, Bishop Verot alumni
This may be the first time a Florida-owned company has signed a college athlete, but it’s not the first time MY Shower Door has stepped up to support local youth and entrepreneurism. The Daubmann family who owns MY Shower Door/D3 Glass has been instrumental in developing and supporting high school mentorship and internship programs in Southwest Florida. The company recently hosted the region’s inaugural Workforce Signing Day celebrating several dozen high school graduates who officially signed on to work with top companies in the area after graduating and completing internships.
