In a remarkable act of generosity and selflessness, Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson has donated his entire $7.5 million signing bonus and sponsorship earnings to charities and homeless relief organizations across the country. The rising star made the heartfelt announcement during a press conference in Tuscaloosa, drawing praise from fans, teammates, and community leaders alike.
“There are millions of people struggling every day,” Simpson said, visibly emotional. “Families without homes, children without food, and veterans without the support they deserve. This is my way of giving back to those who need it most.”
At just 22 years old, Simpson has not only earned respect for his performance on the field but now for his extraordinary impact off of it. The donation includes contributions to national nonprofits like Feeding America, Habitat for Humanity, and Wounded Warrior Project, as well as local Alabama shelters and youth support programs.
Simpson, who recently signed a major NIL deal upon declaring for the NFL Draft, made the decision to donate the full amount after what he described as months of reflection, prayer, and personal conversations with his family and mentors. “Football has given me a platform,” he said. “But if I’m not using it to lift others up, then what am I really doing with it?”
His gesture has quickly gone viral, with social media filled with praise from fans and fellow athletes. NFL stars, college coaches, and even political leaders have chimed in, calling Simpson’s act “inspiring,” “humbling,” and “a reminder of what true leadership looks like.”
Alabama Head Coach Kalen DeBoer said, “Ty has always been a special young man. He’s the kind of leader every coach dreams of — not just for how he plays, but for who he is. This donation reflects the heart and character we’ve seen in him from day one.”
The funds will go toward building transitional housing, stocking food banks, providing educational resources, and supporting job placement programs for at-risk youth and military veterans.
Simpson made it clear that this is just the beginning of his mission to make a difference. “This isn’t about praise or headlines,” he said. “This is about being a light in someone’s darkest moment.”
With this incredible act of kindness, Ty Simpson has proven that true greatness isn’t just measured in touchdowns — it’s measured in compassion.
From the field to the frontlines of change — Ty Simpson is leading with heart. Roll Tide!
