Tuscaloosa, AL โ€” In an era where big money speaks louder than tradition, 5-star quarterback Ty Simpson just sent a seismic shockwave through the world of college football and the NFL scouting community by flat-out rejecting a staggering $150 million combined NIL+endorsement offer reportedly pitched by both West Virginia (WVU) and Clemson.

Instead of chasing headlines and bank accounts, Simpson boldly declared:

โ€œIโ€™ll die a Crimson Tide legend. Alabama raised me. Iโ€™m not leaving it for a paycheck.โ€

According to sources close to the Simpson family, both West Virginia and Clemson were willing to throw the largest NIL package in college football history at the junior signal-caller:

  • $85M from Clemson (including endorsements from national brands)
  • $65M from WVU, tied to private equity deals and exclusive licensing

But Simpson shut the door on both, choosing instead to finish what he started in Tuscaloosa.

Simpsonโ€™s rise has been steady. Originally a 5-star recruit out of Tennessee, he committed to Alabama under the legendary Nick Saban, and has since become a face of the post-Saban era under Kalen DeBoer.

  • 2024 Stats: 3,489 passing yards, 32 TDs, 5 INTs
  • Leadership Grade: A+ according to NFL Draft Bible
  • Projected 1st-Round NFL Draft Pick for 2026

Simpson has embraced the pressure of leading Alabama into a new chapter, guiding the program with calm, confidence, and elite talent.

โ€œEvery kid dreams of a bag. But I dreamed of being a legend. Alabama is where I became a man. This jersey isnโ€™t just something I wear โ€” itโ€™s who I am. $150 million? KEEP IT.โ€

This moment is more than just a recruiting headline โ€” it’s a cultural shift. At a time when NIL bidding wars are redefining college football, Simpsonโ€™s rejection of wealth for legacy and loyalty is rare and refreshing.

NFL insiders are praising Simpson not just for his decision, but for his character and leadership.

โ€œHeโ€™s a CEO in pads,โ€ said one AFC scout. โ€œThat kind of mindset? You want that running your locker room on Sundays.โ€

Ty Simpsonโ€™s message is loud and clear โ€” no price tag can buy what Alabama gave him: identity, purpose, and a chance to write his name in Crimson Tide history.
