Ty Sims Ty Sims 5'11" | 170 lbs | DB Gadsden City | 2026 State AL is a talented senior DB out of Gadsden City who’s coming off a huge performance this past Friday
“Sims is highly athletic and does a great job utilizing his speed, instincts, and hands at the safety position. He can cover a lot of ground and consistently makes impressive sideline-to-sideline plays against the run and pass, coming up with huge stops all over the field. Sims is great in coverage- he isn’t easily baited, doesn’t get beat deep, and can get his hands on the ball to break up and haul in passes.
While Sims is great in coverage, he impressed me just as much with his run defense. He’s a heat-seeking missile from the secondary who is excellent at finding, pursuing, and taking down the ball carrier no matter where he lined up pre-snap.“
Sims dominated against Hazel Green, forced 2 INTs and 3 PBUs, didn’t allow any catches, and even blocked a punt.
I’ve been a big fan of Sims since earlier this year. He’s a talented safety who deserves more eyes. Make sure you check out some of his clips from this week; you’ll be impressed.
