Breaking: Shock from the Sidelines — Ty Simpson Suspended as Alabama Faces Sudden Shakeup Under Center
In a development that has sent ripples through Tuscaloosa and beyond, Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson has been suspended from the team effective immediately, according to multiple sources close to the program.
The announcement came early this morning via a brief statement from the university’s athletic department:
“Due to a violation of team rules, Ty Simpson has been suspended indefinitely. The university will have no further comment at this time.”
No further comment. But the silence says everything.
Ty Simpson, a former five-star recruit and key contender for Alabama’s starting quarterback role, was expected to play a pivotal role in the Tide’s offense heading into the upcoming season. His suspension now throws the quarterback depth chart into chaos and raises serious questions about leadership and stability in an already transitional era for the Crimson Tide.
Sources close to the program have begun to leak fragments of what led to the decision—and they paint a complicated picture.
According to insiders, the suspension stems from a late-night incident involving team curfew violations, a possible altercation at an off-campus gathering, and the discovery of footage circulating on social media platforms that allegedly shows Simpson in a verbal dispute with another student. While no formal charges have been filed, the coaching staff reportedly viewed the incident as the latest in a string of questionable judgment calls.
Head coach Kalen DeBoer, already under intense pressure following his surprising arrival as Nick Saban’s successor, is now facing a full-blown quarterback crisis before the first snap of the season.
“This is not what we expect from a leader in this program,” one anonymous staff member said. “There’s disappointment, but also a commitment to accountability.”
Behind the scenes, the locker room is said to be split—some teammates expressing shock and confusion, others acknowledging tension and inconsistency in Simpson’s approach during spring workouts.
For now, Alabama turns its attention to redshirt freshman Dylan Lonergan and true freshman Julian Sayin—both talented, but inexperienced. The coaching staff is expected to evaluate options quickly, with the potential of a transfer portal addition not off the table.
As for Ty Simpson, his future with the team is unclear. Whether this is a temporary disciplinary action or the beginning of a permanent split remains to be seen.
What is certain, however, is that the tide has turned—and Alabama’s quarterback room, once brimming with promise, now stands at the center of a storm no one saw coming.
