Simpson is a top 40 player in the country and the No. 2 player in Tennessee for 2022, so he is a big name in the south. He is a signal caller with a deep offer list.
He still says he is wide open to all schools, but most feel early that it could come down to
Alabama,
Auburn,
Clemson and
Tennessee. He grew up a fan of
Ole Miss and he was back in Oxford over the weekend too, so the Rebels have to be considered a contender also. Schools like
Oklahoma and
Texas A&M are in contact with Simpson almost daily as well.
Simpson’s father,
Jason Simpson, is the head coach at Tennessee-Martin, so he knows the game inside and out. It shows on the field. He has great pocket awareness, he has a feel for the game and he is strong in the fundamentals of the game. As a passer, the ball comes out quick and he throws a very catchable football. His deep ball is a strength, and although he is not a true dual-threat quarterback, he has great mobility and can buy time in the pocket.
