In this current era of college football, former five-star quarterbacks like Simpson just don't stay at a school this long if they aren't the starter. In fact, no five-star QB has done what Simpson has done in the history of the 247Sports recruiting era from 2010 until now.

Former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy had great things to say about Ty Simpson and the other signal-callers following Saturday's scrimmage.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. ( WIAT) — Ty Simpson has been named Alabama’s starting quarterback, according to ESPN’s Chris Low. Simpson beat out Austin Mack and freshman Keelon Russell to be the Crimson Tide’s QB1. He’s the most experienced out of the group, having made an appearance in 15 games. The redshirt junior has been at Alabama since 2022.
