Ty Simpson hasn’t locked down Alabama’s starting quarterback job just yet, but the redshirt junior has the stamp of approval from his former head coach heading into the summer. Speaking at his Nick's Kids golf tournament in Birmingham, Nick Saban praised Simpson, who he recruited to Alabama in the 2022 class.
“Ty was an outstanding high school player, no doubt. He’s a fine young man,” Saban told reporters at the event. “I think his example is a true example of development. He matured for two years, and now he’s getting an opportunity, and his experiences will help him be successful.
