Ty Simpson<\/a> has waited his turn, and now it’s officially his time to shine.<\/p>\n

Alabama<\/a> has informed Simpson that he’ll be the team’s starting quarterback to begin the 2025 college football<\/a> season, ESPN reported on Monday<\/a>. Simpson beat out redshirt sophomore Austin Mack<\/a> and freshman Keelon Russell<\/a> for the starting nod.<\/p>\n

A former five-star recruit, Simpson redshirted his 2022 freshman season and was a backup quarterback for Alabama behind two-year starter Jalen Milroe<\/a> from 2023-24. Simpson has a combined 50 career collegiate passing attempts (2022-24), but he has posed a threat as a rusher.<\/p>\n

The Crimson Tide are coming off a 9-4 season (5-3 in SEC<\/a> play) and entering their second year with head coach Kalen DeBoer, who had previously expressed that Simpson was the favorite<\/a> to be his starting quarterback.<\/p>\n

Alabama opens the 2025 season on the road against Florida State<\/a> on Aug 30. Its first SEC game comes on Sept. 27, as the Crimson Tide head East to play the Georgia Bulldogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n
