Ty Simpson is gearing up for his first career start on Saturday as Alabama takes to the road to battle Florida State in Tallahassee.
Simpson has the full support of the fanbase. He's also got plenty of support around the country from non-rival fans. He's an easy guy to root for, especially in this era of college football. When transfers are now a dime a dozen, it's rare for a player to stick it out and wait his turn.
That's exactly what Simpson has done. He was patient. He could have left following the 2023 season after he lost the starting job to Jalen Milroe.
