Nick Saban might be retired from coaching, but he is still helping out Alabama's young quarterbacks.
Redshirt junior Ty Simspon was named the Crimson Tide's starting quarterback ahead of the 2025 season, which will be his first as a starter. Though Simpson has been with Alabama for three seasons, he has limited experience on the field. He has attempted just 50 passes over that span, completing 29 of them for 167 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions. He has also rushed for 130 yards and three touchdowns on 22 carries.
