Ty,

We love you, man.  Truly.

Every Alabama fan out there is thankful for you. Not just for the plays, not just for the wins, but for the way you’ve handled everything that’s been thrown your way.

You could’ve left.

A lot of players in your position did.

But you didn’t.

You stayed.

You believed in yourself, your teammates, and this program.

That says more about your heart and your character than any stat line ever could.

You’ve waited your turn. You’ve fought through the noise, the doubt, and the pressure. You didn’t chase the easy road. Instead, you chose to grind it out, right here, where legends are made.

And that’s something Alabama fans will never forget.

You don’t have to be perfect, Ty. You don’t have to be the Heisman front-runner or the headline maker. We don’t care about all that.

We care about you.

We care about the way you fight for this team.

We care about the way you represent that script “A” with pride.

Bear Bryant once said: “At Alabama, our players do not win Heisman Trophies. Our teams win national championships.”

And sure, the game’s changed since then, and Alabama has had four Heisman Trophy Winners since Bryant said that. But, that message still rings true.

We’d take one team trophy over ten individual ones any day.

Because that’s what Alabama football is built on: unity, toughness, and heart.

So don’t overthink it.

Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders.

Just go play the game you love.

Let go of the Heisman talk.

Let go of the social media hype. 

Don’t chase the Heisman. Chase the moment. Chase greatness in the way only you can: through heart, faith, and grit.

You don't need to prove anything to us.

You already have.

We see the passion, the effort, the leadership.

You’ve already shown the kind of leader you are: one who stays, fights, and believes when it would’ve been easier to walk away.

That’s Alabama.

That’s legacy.

Play free. Play confident. Play your game.

You’ve got a whole fan base standing behind you. Proud, grateful, and ready to ride with you every step of the way.

You’ve already proven what kind of man you are.

Now just go have fun doing what you were born to do.

Roll Tide, Ty.

Roll dang Tide.
