Oregon Offers Sixth Grade QB After Seeing His 45-Yard TD Pass
Most sixth graders discovering girls for the first time are left to converse about their Fortnite skills and TikTok views when trying to impress the opposite sex. Graham Simpson, a Tennessee sixth grader, can bypass the nerd talk and flaunt a college scholarship offer to any interested coeds. The 12-year-old Simpson has recently been offered a football scholarship from Oregon, which should cement his yearbook status as "most athletic."
The Ducks were quick to offer Simpson a full ride after video surfaced (by way of Simpson's brother) of the youngster tossing a 45-yard touchdown.
Simpson's brother, Ty, posted video of the 45-yard bomb to his Twitter account and tagged the Alabama football team saying: "I got another one for you!" Ty Simpson is one of the nation's top quarterback recruits who has already committed to the Crimson Tide.
Though Ty's tweet was meant for the eyes of Alabama, Oregon noticed the video and promptly offered the younger Simpson a spot with the Ducks.
"I got back from church, and my dad told me the Oregon offensive coordinator called him," Graham told the Tennessean. "He said, 'Do you know who that is?' And I told him that's Joe Moorhead.
"He said he wanted me to tell you you got your first offer."
