He was a backup for the first three seasons before stepping in as the starter in the 2025-26 campaign. Simpson ended his first year as the starter with 3,567 passing yards and 28 touchdowns with a 64.5% completion percentage.<\/p>\n<p>Ty Simpson has become one of the most-talked-about prospects entering the 2026 NFL Draft.
