BREAKING: Alabama QB Ty Simpson Named New SEC Freshman of the Year Favorite…

 

Tuscaloosa, AL — The Southeastern Conference has a new headline-maker, and his name is Ty Simpson.

 

After weeks of explosive performances and steady leadership, the Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback has officially been recognized as the new favorite to win the 2025 SEC Freshman of the Year Award, according to multiple national analysts and insider projections.

 

Simpson, the former five-star recruit and #2 quarterback in the nation coming out of high school, has become the heart of Alabama’s resurgence this season. Despite early-season questions about his

 

 

readiness, Simpson has silenced every doubt with a series of clutch plays, elite accuracy, and veteran-level poise under pressure.

A Season That Changed the Tide

In his first full season as Alabama’s starting quarterback, Simpson has been nothing short of electric.

• Passing Yards: Over 2,100 through six games
• Touchdowns: 19 passing, 4 rushing
• Completion Rate: 71%
• Quarterback Rating: Top 5 in the SEC

 

Simpson’s consistency has lifted the Crimson Tide offense back to national prominence. Whether he’s firing deep to Ryan Williams or leading last-minute drives, Simpson has given Alabama fans something they’ve been craving since the Bryce Young era — confidence and control.

A Leader Beyond His Years

What sets Ty Simpson apart isn’t just his stats — it’s his mindset. Coaches praise his composure and leadership, saying he approaches the game with “NFL maturity.”

 

Head Coach Kalen DeBoer described him as “a student of the game who commands the locker room.”

Defensive captain Deontae Lawson added,

“Ty’s not just a freshman. He’s our leader. When he steps on that field, we believe.”

National Analysts Take Notice

ESPN, CBS Sports, and 247Sports have all updated their award boards, placing Ty Simpson as the current front-runner for the SEC Freshman of the Year.

 

Analyst Paul Finebaum said it best:

“Ty Simpson isn’t playing like a first-year starter. He’s playing like the next great Alabama quarterback.”

His rise mirrors the same early stardom once seen in Alabama legends like Jalen Hurts, Tua Tagovailoa, and Bryce Young — all of whom went on to NFL success.

What’s Next for the Tide

With Alabama sitting high in the SEC standings and eyeing another playoff run, Ty Simpson’s leadership will be vital in the coming weeks.

If he maintains his current pace, Simpson could not only lock up the SEC Freshman of the Year award but also enter early conversations for All-SEC First Team honors — something rarely achieved by a player in his first full season.
