Scouting Report
Alabama · 2026 draft class
Ty Simpson is Alabama's first-year starting quarterback who has quickly emerged as one of the biggest risers in the 2026 NFL Draft class. At 6'2", 208 pounds, Simpson lacks prototype size but compensates with elite poise, quick processing, and advanced playmaking instincts. Through 12 games, he has led the Crimson Tide to a 10-2 record, completing 65.8% of his passes for 3,056 yards, 25 touchdowns, and just four interceptions. What stands out is how polished Simpson is for a first-year starter - he stays calm under pressure and has consistently performed in big games including tough road wins at Georgia and Missouri. Simpson is a quick processor who identifies coverages and works through progressions. His feathery touch allows him to layer passes over second-level defenders with immense precision. His greatest strength is his clutch gene and ice-cold nature in high-pressure situations, generating a mind-boggling 1.27 EPA per play in final two-minute situations.
