Alabama Names Ty Simpson Starting Quarterback Ahead 2025 Season

Ty Simpson, a former five-star recruit, is poised to become Alabama's starting quarterback in 2025 after spending three seasons as a backup to Bryce Young and Jalen Milroe. Despite the challenges and doubts during his time on the bench, Simpson credits his faith and loyalty to his teammates for his decision to stay at Alabama rather than transfer. He emphasizes the importance of consistency, leadership, and preparation as the Crimson Tide aim to restore their standard following a 9-4 season in 2024. Simpson has learned valuable lessons from watching Milroe, particularly around toughness, athleticism, and body care, which he now applies as the team’s most experienced quarterback. He expressed confidence in leading Alabama through a tough schedule that includes key SEC matchups, underscoring his commitment to winning a national championship and becoming a first-round NFL draft pick. Simpson’s journey reflects both personal resilience and a deep connection to the team and coaching staff under head coach Kalen DeBoer.
