Simpson, who started just one season for the Crimson Tide, informed Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer and offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb of his decision Wednesday, sources told ESPN.

Simpson's father, UT-Martin football coach Jason Simpson, said his son received first-round grades from every NFL general manager they contacted.

"Nobody said second round," Jason Simpson told ESPN.

ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. ranked Ty Simpson as the third-best quarterback eligible for the draft, behind Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza of Indiana and Oregon's Dante Moore, who haven't yet declared.

Jason Simpson said his son also had offers to transfer to other Power 4 schools. Sources previously told ESPN that Miami, Oregon and Tennessee were interested in signing Simpson if he entered the transfer portal.

"There were very, very lucrative opportunities to play another year of college football," Jason Simpson said.

Simpson signed with Saban out of high school in 2022. He was a backup for three seasons before finally replacing Jalen Milroe, who was selected in the 2025 draft by the Seattle Seahawks, as the starter this past season under DeBoer.

"You coach players and help them reach their goals and dreams," Jason Simpson said. "Yes, they would love for him to come back. But if you've got an opportunity to go be a first-round pick in the NFL draft, you go. That's why they pour all that into you, for that individual opportunity, so I really appreciated them."

NGL if he entered he would be my pick in this group, but he is no Cam Ward.

With so few starts?

I wouldn't pick him high if I was a GM.

I have a really hard time believing Simpson only received first round grades. I do think he's likely NFL bound, but there's no way that is true.

Bull**** lol

Chambliss is very good, not great, certainly not worthy of a first round grade.
