Ty Simpson Reveals What Helped Him Earn Starting QB Job at Alabama originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Alabama Crimson Tide officially announced Ty Simpson as the starter under center for the 2025 college football season.

"He loves pressure," Jarod Neal, Simpson's high school coach, told CBS Sports. "He loves to be the man when things are on the line, he wants the ball. When we had games on the line, I said, 'Ty, it's yours, you have to make something happen here,' and he would."

Earlier this week, Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer named redshirt junior Ty Simpson the team's starting quarterback, succeeding Jalen Milroe.
