Ty Simpson is one of the most coveted quarterbacks to ever come out of the state of Tennessee, and he continues to shine in his junior season. We recently had a full recruitment update with him which you can watch in the video at the end of the article, but first, we want to take a look at the show he put on last night with his arm and legs in several recordings from Trey Harris on Twitter.

We take a look at Simpson's rushing touchdown's first where he scored from 1, 23, and 42 yards out.

Next, we take a look at Simpson's passing ability, where he hit touchdowns from 43, 60, and 61 yards out.

Recently, VR2 on SI's Brandon Martin evaluated Simpson and had this to say:

Simpson shows sound footwork on his rollouts and throws outside the pocket, staying on balance and in a position to square his shoulders and throw downfield. Simpson has a sharp, clean, short throwing motion with a quick release. That quick release combined with his mobility makes Simpson difficult to sack, and the strength of Simpson’s arm means that a short, quick motion can push the ball downfield with a lot of velocity. The Bobcats set their defense up to not allow Simpson to push the ball downfield, and they forced him to work underneath. To his credit, Simpson did a good job of taking what the defense gave him and playing within the offense.

Below is a recent video interview on his recruitment:
