There should be no question that the Alabama locker room is fully behind Crimson Tide starting QB Ty Simpson. A little over a week after winning the starting QB job, Simpson's teammates voted him as one of four captains for the 2025 season. When Simpson steps onto the field against Florida State next Saturday, he'll have a "C" on his chest.
Unlike during the Saban era, Kalen DeBoer makes team captain announcements before the season starts. Saban always held the vote for permanent team captains after the season. Just like all those who came before him, Simpson's handprint will be on the pavement at Denny Chimes following the season.
