Alabama’s Ty Simpson was offered over $6 million to return to college football for the 2026 season.

He declined, stating that he wouldn’t turn his back on the Alabama Crimson Tide. Instead, he reaffirmed his desire to enter the 2026 NFL Draft, and the quarterback is expected to be taken in the first two rounds this April.

While Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza is locked in as the No. 1 pick to the Las Vegas Raiders, it becomes much harder to gauge where Simpson will go.

If scouts only looked at the first three-thirds of the season, Simpson would be an easy top-two selection alongside Mendoza. But after a disappointing end to the campaign and regression, there’s an argument that he might not even get selected in the first round or be the second signal-caller taken off the board.

A noncommissioned officer in the Army is heading to prison after being sentenced to four years by a military judge for using a hidden camera to film guests in the bathroom of his home in Alabama.

According to a story from Stars and Stripes, Command Sgt. Maj. Joshua Prescott, 42, was given a four-year and six-month prison sentence last week, as well as a reduction in rank to private at a hearing at Fort Rucker.

Previously, the senior enlisted leader of the 1st battalion, 223rd Aviation Regiment, was suspended after being arrested in July of 2024.

“It is unfortunate that the victims had some of their most private moments video recorded without their consent,” Maj. Morghan Beaudoin, a prosecutor in the case, said. Adding that one of them was a girl. “It was an egregious violation of trust and privacy.”

“The quick response and thorough investigation from Fort Rucker Army CID and Enterprise Police Department, as well as the diligent efforts of my co-counsel, Capt. Beckwith and Capt. Bloodsaw, ensured that the accused would be held accountable for his unlawful actions,” Beaudoin added.

“The thorough investigative work by our Special Agents was instrumental in achieving this conviction, and while the pain inflicted on the victims can never be erased, this sentencing delivers a measure of justice and holds Prescott accountable for his actions,” Special Agent in Charge Ryan O’Connor of the Army CID Southeast Field Office continued.

Prescott pleaded guilty to two counts of indecent recording.
