Ty Simpson (is not yet in the portal)

Seems like he would be a more mobile beck? and does a great job taking care of the ball (28 TDs, 5 Ints)? So with our OL and run game which Bama did not have, what am i missing here? Seems like an extremely solid at worst case fit and likely great fit.

Guess i'd prefer Mateer as i like running QB's but Ty seems like a better passer anyways.

Mateer sucks as a passer (inaccurate).

Lets say he goes into the portal, what makes you think he won't go to Tennessee, LSU or Ole Miss?

Lets slow down sucking his ****

Clemson would be the threat im concerned about considering his relationship with Dabo & he was already committed there before flipping. Those schools would be threats too; no doubt.

Tenn will likely have Aguilar for another year (was JUCO like Pavia) and if not have two younger 5* QBs
LSU is likely getting Sorsby or Chambliss.
Ole Miss may have Chambliss another year and we are a MUCH better landing spot than Ole Miss.

Try to keep up with the thread mane

a) 80% of CIS thought he was a northern FL guy (basically GA) that wasn't going to fit in
b) 99% sure he did NOT play 7v7 in south FL
 
There is no way Simpson can go back to Bama. DeBoer will have one of the hottest seats in the country next year. He has the opportunity to scapegoat Simpson and at the same time "sink or swim" with players that he recruited, Mack or Russell. Simpson either hits the portal or goes pro. NFL would have been the foregone conclusion mid-way through the year but now it's cloudy, however it is a down year for QBs. If he portals, Miami is an attractive destination but so are other places. If It comes down to one year to improve his draft stock, I doubt Tenn would be an option, Huepal's offense is routinely **** on for its ability to produce NFL QBs.

Is Beck truly that immobile in the pocket!? **** that!

On second thought, I guess it makes sense. If you’re not running around a ton to save your life, there’s no need to rely on that skill….

Still, that’s pretty sad.

Simpson to Miami makes too much sense.

I don’t know if he’ll end up here, but I’d bet he does the enter portal and draft dual option so that he can receive offers from schools. In that case, I’d also bet we pursue him pretty aggressively.
 
Al.com and a 247 writer, Scarborough, both believe he’s going to the draft or returning to Alabama. They say it is unlikely he will portal out

As of Sunday night, no decision has been made about his future, a source with knowledge of the situation told AL.com. Simpson said in the locker room after the Rose Bowl he had not made any plans yet for 2026, and his actions since the game ended indicate that to be true. Now that the season is over, he’s taking the steps to help inform him to make the best decision.

He met with Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb on Saturday and Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer on Sunday, per source. All indications are those meetings went well and were productive.

Then early this week, Simpson will meet with people to help him better understand his potential NFL draft value, per source. Those discussions should help him get even more clarity on where he could get drafted.

The most likely outcomes at this juncture are that Simpson either stays at Alabama or declares for the NFL Draft. The door is open for both. Would he receive significant interest if he entered the transfer portal? Yes, but that seems to be the least likely outcome of the three at this point in time.

Our understanding of the situation is this – any plans of coming out for the draft hinge on there being a high probability of Simpson being a first-round pick.

At this moment, a decision is expected by the end of the week.

The deadline for Simpson to enter the NFL Draft is Wednesday, Jan. 14.

Clarity as soon as possible will only help Alabama’s quarterback situation for 2026. The transfer portal will remain open only until Jan. 16. It’s unlikely the Crimson Tide would keep Simpson, Austin Mack and Keelon Russell, the three scholarship quarterbacks for the 2025 season. Mack has been a backup for three seasons and is likely eager for a chance to start. Russell has only been in college for one year, but he’s a former blue chip recruit. Simpson’s decision will probably have a ripple effect with Mack and Russell.

Unlike Ward and Beck, Simpson is likely a top 2 round draft pick. Questions then become, can you sell him on staying in college and transferring to improve your draft stock (worked for Ward and Beck), and would he make more at Miami if he stayed?

For reference, Jaxon Dart went bottom of the first round and is making south of $5 million per year. A number similar to what we gave Beck this year likely makes it a fairly enticing proposition.
