The Crimson Tide has been red hot on the recruiting trail for the 2026 class over the last month, so much so that Kalen DeBoer and the staff have been able to turn their attention to the future and extend offers to talented prospects from the 2027 and 2028 classes.

This week, Alabama did just that as 5-foot-11, 182 lb. quarterback Graham Simpson from the class of 2028 received a scholarship offer. He took to social media to confirm the news on Thursday.

Simpson is the younger brother of current Alabama signal caller Ty Simpson, and he currently suits up for the same high school as Ty, Westview in Martin, Tennessee.

In just one year of varsity football, Simpson threw for over 2,700 yards with 43 touchdowns and nearly 80 percent completion. He helped lead the Westview Chargers to a 14-1 record and a state championship.

The Tennessee native also suits up for his school's baseball and basketball teams. He finished his freshman season with a .429 batting average and 30 RBI's, and on the basketball court he averaged 5.0 per game with 2.8 rebounds.

Simpson was named the MaxPreps National Freshman Football Player of the year for his incredible performance in 2024, and has receieved interest from several other power four programs outside of Alabama.

While the 2028 class still has a long time until it comes to fruition, it's safe to say the Tide is getting a solid early jump.
