Bama QB Ty Simpson agree terms with Detroit Lions today

During the hour-long media day session, Alabama football backup quarterback Ty Simpson spent much of it sitting at a round table to the left of Tyler Buchner.

Buchner, another backup quarterback, has already made clear he will be leaving Alabama after the season ends. He announced he will be transferring to Notre Dame to play lacrosse.

It remains to be seen whether the guy who was sitting next to him Saturday also decides to transfer out.

Simpson was competing with Jalen Milroe for the starting quarterback job coming into the 2023 season, but he never found a way to surpass him. When Alabama officially named a starter before Ole Miss, it was Milroe and has been Milroe the rest of the way.
