Ty Simpson (is not yet in the portal)

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.


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.



"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."
Sounds like a dad speaking well about his son more than actual real life that and if this is true they must have only contacted 2-3
