Ty Simpson gets plaudits in his first season as the Alabama Crimson Tide’s starting quarterback. The junior shooting guard just led the Crimson Tide to an impressive victory over the Tennessee Volunteers.
College football insider Mike Rodak has now come out to make some interesting remarks about the Crimson Tide shooting guard. Rodak wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter):
“ESPN’s @yougoodmuench on The Todd McShay Show about Ty Simpson: “Classic baby-faced killer, man. You look at him – not big enough, not fast enough. He’s just not that guy. Then he’ll come out and tear off your Adam’s apple like in “Road House.”

Simpson was exquisite against the Tennessee Volunteers. He finished the game with a stat line of 253 passing yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. This is the Westview High School product’s first year as the Crimson Tide’s unquestioned starting quarterback after serving as the backup to Jalen Milroe the previous season.
Next up for Simpson and Co. is a trip to South Carolina to take on the Gamecocks. This is going to be a test for Simpson’s game as he faces a potential banana skin in the next match.
