HOOVER, Ala. — Ty Simpson is the leader in Alabama’s quarterback room, but competition at the position remains in full swing heading into the summer. During an appearance at the Regions Tradition pro-am on Wednesday, Kalen DeBoer was clear that the Crimson Tide has not settled on its starter behind center.
“It doesn’t [end],” DeBoer of Alabama’s quarterback competition. “The competition always continues. That’s this year. That’s any year.”
Simpson has been Alabama’s No. 2 quarterback the past two seasons. The redshirt junior played in six games last year, completing 14 of 25 passes for 167 yards while adding 44 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
