During the college football offseason, certain teams are enhancing their skills beyond the standard drills. Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson, Austin Mack, and other teammates took NFL-level training with veteran players from the Las Vegas Raiders. With that kind of preparation, Alabama’s quarterback situation just got a lot more interesting.
However, Ty Simpson is in the main focus as he prepares to lead the Crimson Tide in 2025. Some believe his mobility and quick decision-making will elevate Alabama’s offense to new heights.
But one thing is clear: he’s about to put up big numbers. And if analyst Clint Lamb is right, Simpson won’t just be a breakout star. He’ll be the driving force behind Alabama’s national title push.

Coach Kalen DeBoer has three talented quarterbacks, and all are hungry to lead Alabama this season. Each one brings something special, and all are capable of claiming the starting job. But as fall approaches, one name is standing out.
Ty Simpson is the frontrunner heading into the season. After years as a backup from 2022 to 2024, he is now ready to lead Alabama’s offense. Coach DeBoer clearly favors him over Keelon Russell and Austin Mack, who also competed hard for the role.

“He might get eight, nine, maybe even 10 (interceptions), if he has some early season struggles,” Lamb admitted. “But I think he’ll get better. And then I’m predicting that he’s going to be somewhere in that 250-300 yards rushing, nothing crazy, but also kind of shows off his mobility, and he adds another four or five touchdowns on the ground.”
What impresses Coach DeBoer most about Simpson isn’t just his talent but his smart decision-making and quick feet. Despite limited snaps in previous seasons, the young star has shown that those two traits could make him a real difference-maker in DeBoer’s system. Lamb doubled down on his belief.
“So, I think he’s going to have a very, very successful season, he’s going to be considered one of the better quarterbacks in the country. Some people will say it’s a lot more of the system. … but I think it’s going to be a little bit of a mix of both, and Alabama will push for a national title.”

Looking ahead, the 2025 season feels promising for the Crimson Tide. The team has added key talent through the transfer portal, helping build a solid foundation around Simpson as he steps into the spotlight.
Now, all that’s left is to see if Ty Simpson can live up to the hype. If he does, Alabama fans might be in for something special—and we could even see him in next year’s NFL Draft.
