What Is It With California Athletes Named Simpson?

Is he a relative of O.J.?
From the Havre Daily News:
A former Montana State University-Northern student, star athlete and recruiter has agreed to change his plea to charges that he accepted marijuana with the intent to sell it while working for Northern in Havre.

Joe C. Simpson II, who was allowed to move back to his home state of California to live with relatives while charges were pending, has agreed that the prosecution has enough evidence to convict him and is scheduled to plead no contest Monday, June 30, to all charges. He is scheduled to appear at the hearing via Skype.
The recommendations in the plea agreement are to sentence Simpson, who was born in 1990, to probation on all charges with the chance to clear his record, pay fees and fines and possibly restitution, and forfeit to the local drug task force $11,508.32 and a 9 mm Taurus handgun found in his residence.
