'22 TN QB Ty Simpson (Alabama commit)

[VOLINVONORE]

Absolutely right about not many top QBs coming out of TN. Good thing they come out of a lot of other places...like Ga and Tx.

Who are some of the Tennessee high school QBs who, in the last 30 years have left the State and become starts at other D 5 type universities?

This one doesn’t bother me. Meet Hunter Johnson.

Do you get the same feeling about Ty as you had about Hunter? I knew that dude was an overrated hack.

Hunter was on espn in high school and he was terrible.

Couple two or three, that i can think of right off the top of my head. Pennington...the kid that went to Iowa...maybe one or two others.

Beatherd was at Iowa when Dobbs was here and I’m pretty sure he was starting when we beat them in a bowl game. Plus Pennington was in college the same time as Manning.

I think Pennington went to Marshall. However, I could be wrong.

From Tiger Illustrated

Simpson (6-2, 190), ranked No. 32 nationally by Rivals.com, is the one we’ve circled as arguably more in the more immediate crosshairs.

The son of UT Martin coach Jason Simpson, he has visited Clemson already several times, and we have referenced the program culture resonating with the football family.

We also reported that Simpson began speaking directly with Dabo Swinney last month, and communication has continued on a weekly basis.

To quote ourselves, there’s your sign as far as the Tigers rounding third base and attempting to reach home.

Simpson has backed off thought of making a decision this fall, with an eye on advancing the recruitment once his junior season has concluded and visits are again allowed.

Clemson, Tennessee and Auburn are the three suitors in the heat of the battle, with Alabama and LSU stated contenders as well.

We’ve gathered conflicting intel on whether Tennessee or Auburn constitutes the greatest threat. But we have consensus that Clemson is in the top two.

Let’s just say here’s where the Tigers would really benefit from getting Simpson back on campus again to spend in-person time with Swinney and staff.

He committed after his junior season...so did Brock Vandagriff. But not to their eventual destinations.

Who is the newer QB prospect putting up gaudy numbers in Alabama? Maybe they go that route if they miss out on Simpson?

Conner Harrell I think is his name.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Kaidon Salter, then 2023.

I mean he’s not going to be an idiot and recruit for other teams while visiting us. But I don’t believe in him. He may prove me wrong. Good athlete though.

This is coming out of left field from Hickey who usually is pretty good... I would not put much stake in it at this point, though

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I know

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Massive failure by our staff if he goes elsewhere. No blue font

Are you choosing UT over Clemson or Bama if your this kid?

My kid? Yes

 

[Volfanatic_20]

My kid? Yes

You want your kid coached by Wienke?

Oh, good point. He wouldn’t go to Bama I can guarantee it

Allz I’m saying.

Need an OC or head coach that has a dynamic offense. That is the college game now.

 

[CeJayVols]

Honestly, I like Jacurri Brown from Valdosta lots better. That kid can ball and he is big and be in the 225-240lb range in college.
