With Steve Sarkisian moving on to Texas, several crootin “experts” thought Alabama’s ship was sunk when it came to recruiting Ty Simpson. But to quote Blake Brockermeyer: “People think position coaches and area coaches are critical and all this and that. Winning, program consistency and development is all that matters to those with great options. We love (Kyle) Flood and (Karl) Scott, but the equipment manager could have recruited us as long as Saban is there.”
And thus, Alabama has another 5-string quarterback commitment.
Simpson grew up around college football.
