Alabama QB commit Ty Simpson leads HS team to Tennessee state title

Alabama is having itself a weekend. First, the Tide won the SEC Championship Game over Georgia. Then, the men’s basketball team took down No. 3 Gonzaga on Saturday night.

Also among the good news for the Tide is a member of the incoming recruiting class — 5-star 2022 QB Ty Simpson out of Tennessee — led his high school team to a state title.

Simpson had 2 running scores and 3 passing touchdowns in the game, a 55-14 victory for his Westview High School squad:
