Kalen DeBoer discussed what went into Ty Simpson being selected to the Crimson Tide’s leadership council on Friday.
This comes after Alabama’s outside linebacker, Qua Russaw revealed redshirt junior quarterback, Ty Simpson, was voted to the team’s leadership council by his teammates. Simpson’s new role has since led to much speculation about the selection being a possible indicator of him being the winner of the quarterback competition. DeBoer met with reporters and made it apparent this is indeed not the case when asked if Simpson’s new status will play a part in naming the team’s official starter.
“No, I mean that leadership group was voted on in January,” DeBoer answered.
