- What Ty Simpson feels Alabama football fans should know about him
Ty Simpson came into Alabama football with dreams to leave a legacy, with aspirations for the NFL. And heading into his fourth season with the program, the Alabama quarterback feels he can still do both.
"I think my journey has been like no other, to say the least," Simpson said in a video posted on social media by QB Reps July 22.
Simpson is set to enter Alabama 's fall camp as the leader in the Crimson Tide 's quarterback race, competing for snaps with redshirt sophomore Austin Mack and freshman Keelon Russell .

"When I get on the field, Alabama fans should know that I'm going to do everything it takes to win," Simpson said. "So I'm going to make sure I'm the toughest guy on the field. I'm going to make sure I win. I'm going to make sure I know everything that's coming. I'm going to get the guys around me the ball."
Simpson, a five-star quarterback in the 2022 recruiting class out of Martin, Tennessee, backed up Bryce Young and Jalen Milroe in his first three seasons with the Crimson Tide.
With Alabama, Simpson has completed 29 of his 50 career pass attempts for 381 yards. While he does not have a collegiate passing touchdown, Simpson has three rushing touchdowns on 22 carries.
Alabama opens its 2025 season Aug. 30 against Florida State.
