Alabama starting quarterback Ty Simpson has signed an NIL deal with Gatorade, which he announced via social media on Wednesday, marking the latest high-profile partnership for the Crimson Tide star.
Simpson is represented by QB Reps, and currently has an NIL Valuation of $948,000, according to On3. Other NIL partnerships include Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, Hugo Bond, Innisfree Irish Pub, CVS Pharmacy, and the Alabama-focused collective Yea Alabama.
The leading quarterback for the Crimson Tide is off to a strong start to his tenure as a starter at Alabama. He currently boasts 862 passing yards, 9 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. Prior to Alabama’s bye week, he put up impressive numbers in Weeks 2 and 3, completing 100% of his passes for 262 yards and 3 touchdowns in Week 2 during the Crimson Tide’s win over UL-Monroe. He almost mirrored the same completion result in Alabama’s Week 3 win over Wisconsin, completing 24 of his 29 attempts for 382 yards and 4 touchdowns.
He’s up for another big test this week, though. After struggling against Florida State’s defense in Week 1, how will he respond against Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs defense in Athens? Kickoff for Saturday’s game is set for 7:30 p.m. on ABC.
