🏈 Quick update on Ty Simpson's future...

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Got an update on Simpson today and I'm told that as of now he is heavily leaning to return to UA for an additional and final season in 2026. While it wasn't mentioned, I assume at least to some degree, his health (back) is factoring into the decision. And before anyone jumps off their roof, UA is well aware of the plan, and yes, it could change in the coming weeks (this is a weak QB class which could become a factor in his decision). DeBoer does not want to lose Keelon Russell, and if Ty returns, the wolves will be at the gates trying to get him. I'm told keeping him will be a top priority.

Got 2 good QBs coming in too.

Be awesome if he came back. But a first round draft choice. U got to go. To much money involved. Life changing $$$$

I saw something on espn app projecting him in mid first round.

I hope Ty goes to the NFL after this season. If he returns Bama might lose not one but 2 QBs. (10 and 12)

It's possible that Ty could return for another year and play at another SEC school. He should be able to get a really good salary.

Maybe take Ryan Williams big bucks and resolve the QB room 1st.

@Brandon Van de Graaff, you addressed it....need to keep Keelon. I'm saying he'll be the next great thing at Alabama...

He looks the part for sure. Kalen knows what he has to for the future. Tuff decision but they pay him 11 million.

Imo Simpson has to go. If he get first round feedback he should go.

Hope they keep Ty and Keelon has the maturity to take another year to get ready if he's not ready to be number 1 yet, most true sophomores aren't.

I can't really decide who I am higher on rn, Mack or Russell. The gifts of both are obvious imo and both look like they could be Him.

He will probably go... but he should stay another year...

Mack is more ready than Russell. Russell has more talent than Mack. Both are capable. I believe someone said that Russell isn't quite ready mentally wise for the game.

I really like Simpson but honestly most QB guys have said he's at worst in the top 25 picks I do not for a minute believe I'd stay in college when I got a chance to turn pro and get a shot leading a NFL team. I know the sports and $$ has changed things but he could get seriously hurt next year and be done forever, he'd much rather have that rookie guaranteed $$ vs college NIL where it can cut off if you're not playing.

I think it's an interesting storyline but the guy needs to go pro if he's a 1st round projection and so far he is slated for the 1st round.
