Is Ty Simpson<\/a> this year\u2019s Carson Beck<\/a>? That\u2019s a question the talented Alabama<\/a> junior quarterback could be entertaining as multiple QB-needy programs reportedly try to sway him to transfer rather than jump to the NFL.<\/p>\n

Beck famously declared for the 2025 NFL Draft last January before reversing course days later and transferring to Miami<\/a>, where he\u2019s led the 10th-ranked Hurricanes to the 2026 College Football Playoff national championship game Dec. 19 against No. 1 Indiana<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Simpson formally announced his intentions to enter the 2026 NFL Draft last Wednesday<\/a>. But that move may be on hold after the Crimson Tide\u2019s 2025 starter \u2014 through third-parties \u2014 has reportedly received high-dollar NIL offers from other Power Four programs, including one particular deal that could total as much as $6.5 million, according to AL.com<\/a>. That reportedly includes three other SEC programs that are offering at least $4 million for Simpson\u2019s services in 2026, per AL.com.<\/p>\n

Prior to his draft declaration last week, On3 insider Pete Nakos reported Simpson was evaluating all his options regarding his future<\/a> per his agent, Peter Webb\u00a0of\u00a0QB Reps. That potentially included returning to Alabama, declaring for the NFL Draft, or entering the NCAA Transfer Portal.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo decisions have been made about Ty declaring for the draft at this point, and he is still evaluating everything with his family and close advisors,\u201d Webb told Nakos.<\/p>\n

Simpson has long been considered a potential first-round lock, and is currently projected to be the third quarterback off the board according to ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper Jr., behind only Indiana\u2018s\u00a0Fernando Mendoza<\/a>\u00a0and Oregon<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0Dante Moore<\/a>, neither of whom have declared for the draft yet.<\/p>\n

Despite leaving Alabama\u2019s 38-3 quarterfinal loss to Indiana early with a cracked rib, Simpson capped a strong redshirt junior season in Tuscaloosa by throwing for 3,567 yards and 28 touchdowns to just five interceptions in his first year as the Tide\u2019s QB1. That included powering Alabama to an 11-4 record and a first-round victory over Oklahoma<\/a> in the 2025 College Football Playoffs.<\/p>\n

This news about Simpson comes two days after his two backups \u2014 redshirt sophomore Austin Mack<\/a> and five-star true freshman Keelon Russell<\/a> \u2014 both negotiated new deals with Alabama\u2019s team collective, Yea Alabama, to return for the 2026 season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-6 and 235-pound Mack saw the first significant action of his Crimson Tide career on New Year\u2019s Eve when he replaced an injured\u00a0Simpson\u00a0in the second half of a 38-3 loss to No. 1\u00a0Indiana<\/a>\u00a0in the\u00a0Rose Bowl\u00a0national quarterfinal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Is Ty Simpson this year\u2019s Carson Beck?
