Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Alabama quarterback and projected first-round pick Ty Simpson is entering the 2026 NFL Draft.
He made the announcement via social media with a compilation video of his football experience from a young age through the season he just wrapped up with a Rose Bowl loss against No. 1 Indiana.
"Grateful for every single second. Blessed beyond measure to be able to chase my dreams," Simpson wrote in the video caption. "Time to roll. Roll Tide."
Simpson led the Crimson Tide to the College Football Playoff in his first season as a starter in 2025. The redshirt junior took over after three years in a backup role when Jalen Milroe entered the 2025 draft.
Field Level Media rates Simpson as a top three quarterback along with Oregon's Dante Moore and Indiana's Fernando Mendoza. All three would likely be in the mix in the top 20 of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Simpson passed for 3,567 yards, 28 touchdowns and five interceptions in 15 games in 2025.
