‘Love You’: Ty Simpson Receives NFL Motivation Minutes Before First Alabama Start vs FSU

It’s just a few hours away now, the moment Alabama fans have been waiting on all offseason. All eyes are on Alabama’s Ty Simpson as he prepares to make his much-anticipated debut start against Florida State. Known for his poise and emotional maturity in practice, Alabama’s head coach, Kalen DeBoer, emphasizes that while this will be Simpson’s first game as a starter, he doesn’t see him as a rookie. As kickoff approaches today at Doak Campbell Stadium, everyone will be eager to see if Ty can turn years of preparation and promise into the star-making performance Alabama fans hope for.

But it’s not just the fans who are buzzing about Simpson’s debut. His journey has caught the attention of people who know him well, like former Alabama teammate Tyler Booker, now grinding in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys. Booker sent Simpson a message of encouragement before the game started on Instagram. “We have been talking about this day for years, brother,” Booker writes. “Take advantage of this opportunity and leave it all out there! Love you, brother.”
