Back in the day, declaring for the NFL Draft would mean one thing only: College Football days are behind. However, NIL changed that. When <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alabama" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alabama</a> quarterback Ty Simpson made his intentions to go pro official, many programs wanted him to stay and change jerseys.



However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ty-simpson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Simpson</a> is not about that life. He is Crimson Tide for life. “There is no doubt in my mind that&nbsp;the last jersey I wanted to wear&nbsp;in college was the Alabama Crimson Tide jersey,” Simpson said to ESPN.com. “I came there. I stayed there.”



Hence, Simpson is content with going to the draft, where he is a highly-touted prospect at the QB position. And Simpson really felt that Alabama jersey, as he received, reportedly, up to $6.5 million from one school. Miami, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oregon" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Oregon</a>, and Tennessee were interested in Simpson’s play.



<h2>Simpson could be a high draft pick</h2>



Many analysts put Ty Simpson as a top 15 draft pick, so the $6.5 million NIL money he was offered won’t be missed. A first-round QB will earn plenty more. Simpson is one of the most polarizing figures in terms of potential.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">I’m going to be higher on Ty Simpson than most. The torque from his hips makes the arm strength effortless. Short area movements show he can be a rusher. He’s got a lot to learn. Feet can be bad at times. The natural ability is that of a Rd 1 pick. <a href="https://t.co/ptJiIqtvuh">pic.twitter.com/ptJiIqtvuh</a>— Alfredo Brown (@AlfredoABrown) <a href="https://twitter.com/AlfredoABrown/status/2017279443031482608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 30, 2026</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Simpson is viewed as high-end prospect but with plenty of development needed. However, he excels at throwing in tight windows and has great pocket awareness. While he is a pocket passer, he also has a surprisingly fast acceleration.

<h2>Who will be the next Alabama QB?</h2>



Austin Mack is poised to start for the Crimson Tide in 2026. Mack had some snaps this past year after Simpson suffered a rib injury. He completed 75% of his passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns. 



If Mack isn’t the one, then it’s likely going to be Keelon Russell. Russell had only 15 pass attempts and completed 11 of them. He racked up 143 yards and two touchdowns. Mack has had more snaps, but Russell has some raw talent that might be worth exploring.

After their investment on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carson-beck">Carson Beck</a> led to great success in college football, the Miami Hurricanes are looking to repeat the recipe. As one top quarterback has dclared for the 2026 NFL Draft, the Canes are hoping to change his mind with a lucrative offer.



Coming off a breakout season with the Alabama Crimson Tide, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ty-simpson">Ty Simpson</a> declared for the NFL Draft. However, in today’s college football landscape—where NIL deals reign supreme—nothing is ever set in stone. On that note, the Hurricanes aren’t throwing in the towel and are making an all-out push to land the star, who would be a redshirt senior in 2026. 



According to a report by The Next Round on X, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-hurricanes">Miami</a> is offering Simpson $6.5 million to take over the reins following Beck’s imminent departure. The Tennessee Volunteers and Ole Miss Rebels are also reported to have submitted an offer for the former Alabama star. However, he may not be as inclined to joining a fellow SEC opponent of his alma mater. 



As it stands, Simpson is not guaranteed to be a first-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, so playing one final year of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> could be a wise move. Of course, there’s a risk-reward balance to that decision, but the $6.5 million could prove crucial if Simpson decides to take a U-turn in his career.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/11132212/ty-simpson-1-1920x1080.webp" alt="Ty Simpson" class="wp-image-524595"></figure><figcaption>Ty Simpson at Bryant-Denny Stadium on November 08, 2025 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Is Beck declaring for the NFL Draft?</h2>



Though the sixth-year quarterback hasn’t publicly declared for the 2026 NFL Draft, there’s little question about his path forward. The Georgia transfer initially declared for the 2025 Draft but opted out to play his final year of eligibility in Coral Gables—well, technically Miami Gardens. On January 19, Beck will step onto the college football stage for the last time, and it will be on the sport’s biggest stage. He can go out with a bang—or a heartbreaking loss.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/greatest-miami-hurricanes-players"></div>


Regardless, one thing is certain: his draft stock has experienced a miraculous rise after his heroic playoff performances. Had it not been for the controversial decision by the Selection Committee to send Miami over Notre Dame into the Playoffs, Beck may have gone undrafted. Now, he has a legitimate shot at making an NFL roster ahead of the 2027 season.



<h2>Transfer QBs are running college football</h2>



For the second straight season, all four programs in the College Football Playoff Semifinals featured an experienced transfer quarterback under center. The National Championship will be decided between Fernando Mendoza and Carson Beck, the two players combine for a total of nine seasons in college. This statistic paints a crystal-clear picture of the state of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> football. 



Transfer signal-callers run the show, and every program has seemingly learned that lesson. Now, the Hurricanes are looking to repeat the formula that’s led them to their best college football season in decades.

It wasn’t just another day for the Alabama Crimson Tide, and it wasn’t just another win in the record books. Overcoming a 17-point first-quarter deficit against the Oklahoma Sooners sent a clear message to all of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a>: Kalen DeBoer’s team not only has talent but also the character to achieve great things.



In fact, this was one of the points the coach emphasized after the game in his comments to ESPN sideline reporter Laura Rutledge. Bama knew they needed not only Simpson to mount a comeback but also an internal fire to drive them forward.



“Our guys have been in it all year long and … I’m proud of the fight,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kalen-deboer">DeBoer</a> said. “I know I’m going to get that every single time we step on the field. We had to create our own breaks a little bit. We knew it was going to be a fist fight. We knew it was going to be a physical game, it’d be hard moving the ball, but you just got to keep playing.”



He also added: “We always talk about when your number gets called, be ready. These guys worked all week long, I really felt like they were dialed in. The critical moments, that’s the difference in our team this year than what we were in the past, and there were some critical moments where our guys stepped up and made plays. The players are the ones that bring everything to life and they did that tonight.”

<h2>Simpson, the architect of the comeback</h2>



In their thrilling comeback victory against Oklahoma, Alabama quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ty-simpson">Ty Simpson</a> played a nearly perfect second half to keep the Crimson Tide’s championship hopes alive. Simpson completed 18-of-29 passes (62.1%) for 232 yards and two touchdowns, leading a historic 17-point rally without throwing a single interception. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/alabama-drama-pete-thamel-drops-report-on-kalen-deboers-future-that-could-worry-crimson-tide-fans"></div>


His poise under pressure and connection with freshman receiver Lotzeir Brooks proved to be the spark Alabama needed to secure the 34-24 win and advance to the Rose Bowl.



<h2>What’s next for the Crimson Tide?</h2>



After their dramatic comeback win over Oklahoma, the No. 9 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alabama">Alabama Crimson Tide</a> (11-3) have officially advanced to the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. They are set to face the undefeated No. 1 Indiana Hoosiers (13-0) in the historic Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arch-manning" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arch Manning</a> and Ty Simpson are gearing up for crucial matchups as the No. 11 Texas Longhorns and No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide face ranked opponents in college football. The two quarterbacks share a strong friendship—and they’re putting it to good use.



With the Longhorns set to visit the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football/arch-manning-admits-he-will-resort-to-sec-opponent-for-help-ahead-of-visit-to-georgia-with-texas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manning admitted he will be resorting to an SEC opponent</a> for mentoring: Alabama quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ty-simpson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ty Simpson</a>. Simpson and the Tide have taken the Dawgs down on the road, and their experience might come in handy when Manning and Texas walk into Sanford Stadium in Athens.



However, Manning isn’t the only one taking advantage of his connections in the NCAA. Ahead of the Crimson Tide’s matchup with the No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners, Simpson is going straight to the source, as Manning and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-longhorns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Longhorns</a> defeated the Sooners earlier in the year at the Red River Rivalry.



“That’s my guy,” Simpson admitted about Manning. “It was a good game, so I asked him a couple questions. He asked me a couple questions about Vanderbilt and about Georgia. Quarterback etiquette, talking to one another, ‘Hey what did you see? What did they do here?’ Just about plays and fronts in general. Stuff we talk about not just as friends but quarterbacks as well.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251112_BUS_524847_ty-simpson-1024x576_131ef29c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Ty Simpson looking after the game" class="wp-image-501272" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Ty Simpson at Sanford Stadium on September 27, 2025 in Athens, Georgia.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Goes way back</h2>



Though Simpson and Manning are both playing their first season as starting quarterbacks in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">college football</a>, the two go way back, knowing each other for a very long time. 


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/kalen-deboer-drops-blunt-reminder-for-ty-simpson-alabama-ahead-of-ranked-matchup-with-oklahoma"></div>


“We had to be in like middle school,” Simpson added. “We worked out together a couple times. Of course, we had a ton of respect for each other, just because of us being two of the best quarterbacks. How similar we are. We just love ball. We’ll hang out outside of football. He’s a nut. A ton of respect to him and his family and his brother. He’s a really good friend. A good friend to have.”



<h2>Similarities</h2>



Both quarterbacks had to wait for their opportunities in college football, and neither complained once about the lack of playing time in their early collegiate years. Manning was the bigger name, serving as Quinn Ewers’ backup, while Simpson wasn’t yet a household name as he sat behind Jalen Milroe at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alabama" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alabama</a>.



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">Ya man Ty Simpson is a demon <a href="https://t.co/pYml6mH5TJ">https://t.co/pYml6mH5TJ</a> <a href="https://t.co/PqxgLmVH0L">pic.twitter.com/PqxgLmVH0L</a>— Liam Blutman (@Blutman27) <a href="https://twitter.com/Blutman27/status/1987342135465533710?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 9, 2025</a></blockquote></div>



Although their situations weren’t identical, their journeys shared some key similarities. Now, they’re hoping to give each other a hand on the eve of marquee matchups in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NCAA</a> season. Who knows? Maybe the two will meet on the gridiron in the SEC Championship Game or the College Football Playoffs. 



Alabama (8-1, 6-0 SEC) has a clear path toward those goals, while Texas (7-2, 4-1 conference) must win out and hope for some help around the league to reach the conference title game. Either way, Simpson and Manning remain two of the biggest names in college football.

The No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide face one of the biggest tests of their season when hosting the No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners in the 2025 NCAA season. Ahead of the key SEC showdown, Kalen DeBoer voiced a stern reminder for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ty-simpson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ty Simpson</a> and company.



Though this is only DeBoer’s second year at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alabama" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alabama</a>, the head coach has already faced Oklahoma before—and he’s determined to right his wrongs. Last season, the Sooners defeated the Crimson Tide 24–3, eliminating the Script A from College Football Playoff contention. Moreover, as Oklahoma handed Bama its third loss of the 2024 campaign, it also knocked the Tide out of the race for the SEC Championship.



This time around, the Crimson Tide is in a much better place in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NCAA</a>. Boasting an 8-1 record (6-0 in the conference), Alabama is in pole position to make the 2025 SEC Championship Game. Moreover, the Tide should be a lock for the College Football Playoffs. 



Barring a catastrophic home stretch of the year, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kalen-deboer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DeBoer</a>, Simpson, and Bama should make the cut for the expanded postseason. With only three games remaining, defeating Oklahoma would virtually clinch Alabama’s place in the playoffs. Therefore, DeBoer isn’t leaving anything to chance, voicing a strong message for the players.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251111_BUS_524586_kalen-deboer-1024x576_09e2da17.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Kalen DeBoer looks to his side" class="wp-image-484533" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Kalen DeBoer at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida. </figcaption></figure>



<h2>Remember last year</h2>



“You know, we have a lot of new players on the team, so there are players that didn’t experience [last year’s loss to Oklahoma]. The ones that did certainly better remember,” DeBoer admitted, via On3. 


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/arch-manning-admits-he-will-resort-to-sec-opponent-for-help-ahead-of-visit-to-georgia-with-texas"></div>


“And understand that, more importantly, you’re facing a really good program that, you know, obviously, we went to their place and got beat up pretty good last year, and that’s who’s coming to town this week.“



Though Simpson saw the field on just a few occasions last season, he did take a snap during the 24–3 defeat in Norman. Now, Simpson and the Tide are seeking revenge against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oklahoma-sooners" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sooners</a> as the school from the Land of Red Dirt walks into town.



<h2>Something new, something old</h2>



When Alabama hosts Oklahoma at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Nov. 15, it will mark just the second time the Sooners have visited Tuscaloosa in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">college football</a> history. As it stands, the two schools have gone head-to-head seven times, with Oklahoma holding the upper hand at 4-2-1 against Alabama. 



The Crimson Tide have never beaten the Sooners outside of Miami, Florida, as their two victories came at neutral sites. When Brent Venables and the Sooners arrive in Tuscaloosa, DeBoer, Simpson, and the Tide will not only face a ranked opponent but also the weight of having never defeated Oklahoma in the Heart of Dixie.
