Graham Simpson isn’t your average 12-year-old. Not anymore, at least.
The younger brother of Alabama quarterback commit Ty Simpson, and the son of UT-Martin head coach Jason Simpson, Graham is making waves this week thanks to his older brother’s Twitter post showing the middle school QB throwing a 45-yard touchdown pass in a recent youth game:
Hey @AlabamaFTBL I got another one for you! pic.twitter.com/bxEysSlvX5

It was enough for Oregon and its offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead to offer Graham a scholarship, his first Power 5 scholarship offer coming 4 years before he can legally drive a car and 8 years before his freshman year of college.
“I guess it caught Joe’s and coach (Mario) Cristobal’s eye and it was kind of cool. It was neat,” Jason Simpson told Rivals.com.
Older brother Ty is headed to Alabama next year as a 5-star Adidas All-American out of Westview High School (TN).
