Alabama names Ty Simpson starting quarterback ahead of 2025 season

Alabama has named Ty Simpson the starting quarterback for the 2025 season after a lengthy competition that included Austin Mack and Keelon Russell. Coach Kalen DeBoer confirmed the decision, signaling trust in Simpson after months of praise for his accuracy and decision making. The choice keeps the offense on a familiar path as the program enters a pivotal year.

Simpson’s rise underscores Alabama’s preference for development within a familiar system rather than pursuing an outside solution. The decision leans on his consistency in practice and the belief that he can translate touch and timing into on-field production. The plan leans into a strong surrounding cast, including a deep receiver room and Jam Miller in the backfield, to cushion any early growing pains.
