The 2025 Alabama football season got off to an awful start this year after it lost to Florida State. Now, the Crimson Tide looks like one of the best teams in the country after that Week 1 loss. A massive reason behind Alabama’s emergence is Ty Simpson under center, and many in the media think he has emerged as the best quarterback in the country.
ESPN college football analyst Jordan Rodgers appeared on Wednesday’s “Get Up. ” When asked who he thought was the best quarterback in the country, he said Ty Simpson. He also said he has been a massive reason behind Alabama’s 6-game winning streak.

“I’m running out of breakdowns to do on him,” Rodgers said. “I love his ability to manipulate the pace of the football with his throws. He can make the fastball throw with a Level 1 throw, add more trajectory to it with a Level 2 throw, and be accurate by dropping his throw in a bucket with a Level 3 throw. Other guys can do it, but he does it consistently and accurately, which is something special to watch.”
Simpson has had an incredible season with the Crimson Tide so far. He has 1,931 passing yards and 18 passing touchdowns to only one interception. He also has a 70.2% completion percentage. Simpson’s play has put him firmly in the Heisman Trophy conversation, along with the discussion about who should be the first quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft. Seeing how he plays down the stretch this season will be interesting for that potential.
