There’s currently no official news or statement confirming that Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson intends to leave the Crimson Tide. As of the latest updates, Simpson, a former highly touted recruit, remains an integral part of Alabama’s quarterback depth chart. While there may be rumors or speculation about his future, especially given the competitive nature of college football rosters, no official decisions have been announced.
Simpson joined Alabama as a five-star recruit with high expectations, drawn to the program’s rich history and the opportunity to work under Coach Nick Saban. However, the competition for the starting quarterback role has been intense. The Crimson Tide, known for recruiting top-tier talent at every position, have multiple highly rated quarterbacks competing for playing time each season, which can make it challenging for any single player to secure and maintain the starting role.
Simpson’s journey at Alabama reflects the broader challenges many young quarterbacks face in powerhouse programs. With limited playing time, players often find themselves questioning whether they should stay and continue to compete or consider transferring to a program where they might get more immediate starting opportunities. The NCAA transfer portal has also made it easier for players to explore other options without having to sit out a year, as was the case in previous years. This shift has created a trend where talented athletes, like Simpson, may evaluate their options if they feel another program could offer them a better pathway to starting roles and, ultimately, the NFL.
If Simpson were to decide to leave Alabama, it would likely be a strategic choice aimed at finding a program where he could develop further with more playing time. This wouldn’t be unusual; many high-profile quarterbacks have transferred in recent years to find the right fit. For Alabama, it would mean re-focusing on other quarterbacks on their roster to continue their strong tradition.
Until any official announcements are made, Ty Simpson remains a member of the Alabama Crimson Tide, and the rumors are just that—speculation. Fans will undoubtedly keep a close eye on his journey, as he’s seen as a promising talent who could succeed either at Alabama or, if necessary, elsewhere in college football.
