My son's first year of college is leaving him very tired at the end of the day.
Would the one word simple subject be "college" and the verb be "is leaving"?

Simple subject is "year", verb is "is leaving".
The simple subject can't be "college". It's the object of a preposition. And the object of a prepositoion can't be a subject.
E.G.
One of the students set off the fire alarm.
Subject is "one". The entire meaning changes when you say "students" is the subject. Then it would be a group, not just one person.

That is correct. All the words before "college" are modifiers of various kinds. "Is leaving" is a correct verbal form.
