Ty Simpson was the No. 3-ranked quarterback in the country when he committed to Alabama out of high school in 2022, a composite five-star along with Cade Klubnik and Drew Allar, multi-year starters who are entering their senior seasons as Heisman hopefuls. Simpson, on the other hand, is finally getting his first opportunity with the Crimson Tide, but he has as good a shot as any of them to lead his team to the national title.
On Monday, Kalen DeBoer officially named Simpson as his starting quarterback for the 2025 season. The redshirt junior has attempted just 50 passes throughout his previous three years in Tuscaloosa.
