Ty Simpson, a 5-star quarterback and the #2 QB recruit in the nation coming out of high school, has long been considered a future star in college football. With his skillset, leadership, and pedigree, many believe Simpson is the right choice to take over as the starting quarterback at Alabama.
Simpson, a native of Martin, Tennessee, was a standout at Westview High School, where he showcased his elite arm strength, mobility, and poise under pressure. In his senior season, he threw for over 3,000 yards and 28 touchdowns, quickly gaining national attention as one of the top quarterback prospects in the country. He was rated as the #2 overall quarterback in the 2022 class, behind only Arch Manning, and received offers from several top-tier programs. Ultimately, Simpson chose Alabama, joining the Crimson Tide in the spring of 2022.
Since his arrival at Bama, Simpson has impressed coaches and teammates alike with his work ethic and football IQ. Though he entered a quarterback room that already featured experienced players like Bryce Young (the Heisman Trophy winner in 2021) and Jalen Milroe, Simpson quickly adapted to the collegiate level. While he spent his first year learning behind Young, he showed glimpses of his potential in limited playing time. His combination of arm talent, mobility, and ability to read defenses has made him a favorite among fans and analysts who believe he’s ready to step into the starting role.
As Alabama transitions into a new era without Bryce Young, the time has come for Simpson to seize the reins. While Jalen Milroe, who has starting experience, remains in the mix, Simpson’s high ceiling and elite skill set position him as the future of the Alabama offense. Many feel it’s time for the coaching staff to trust Simpson as the starting QB and let him lead the Crimson Tide back to championship contention.
