Ty Simpson is ‘going to be really good,’ former Alabama football teammate says

Ty Simpson, a redshirt sophomore quarterback for the Alabama Crimson Tide, has been lauded by former teammates and coaches for his potential to excel in the upcoming season. Courtney Morgan, Alabama’s Director of Player Personnel, highlighted Simpson’s strong rapport with teammates, noting, “Ty has the love of his teammates. They all like him. They all think he’s a good dude, a good person. He’s a coach’s kid. He gets it.”

Simpson’s journey to this point has been marked by patience and dedication. Despite limited playing time over the past three years, he has remained committed to the program, embodying the qualities of resilience and perseverance. As Alabama transitions into a new season without former starting quarterback Jalen Milroe, who declared for the NFL Draft, Simpson emerges as a leading candidate for the starting position. His experience within the program and understanding of the team’s dynamics position him favorably in the quarterback competition.

Simpson’s commitment to Alabama has been unwavering. Reflecting on his journey, he expressed his deep affection for the university and its community, stating, “I love this place. If I didn’t, I would have left, you know what I mean? But I love Tuscaloosa. I love the University of Alabama. I love the fans. I love the program. I love my teammates. And that’s the reason why I stayed.”

As the Crimson Tide prepare for the upcoming season, Simpson’s blend of talent, experience, and leadership qualities make him a promising figure to watch. His journey from a highly-touted recruit to a potential starting quarterback underscores his dedication and readiness to lead Alabama football into a new era.
