He’s one of the contenders aiming to replace Milroe as Alabama’s starting quarterback for the 2025 season, competing with Austin Mack and Keelon Russell.

Following spring practices, Simpson emerged as the leading candidate for the starting role, with offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb stating he’d be the starter “if we’re playing a football game tomorrow.” Ty’s father, Jason Simpson, told The Tuscaloosa News that Ty has handled the quarterback competition well, staying emotionally steady. He emphasized Ty’s experience in previous battles for the position and his understanding of protecting the ball, managing possessions wisely, and leading the team not just with numbers, but through relationships and locker room leadership.
