University of Alabama defensive back Tony Brown is facing an indefinite suspension from the NCAA, The Tuscaloosa News has learned.
The university has appealed and is awaiting a decision.
UA coach Nick Saban acknowledged Brown was “facing suspensions” during the veteran coach’s introductory spring press conference in March.
“When I get the final data on that I’ll definitely let you know,” Saban said.
Brown, a junior-to-be for the 2016 season, has participated in all eight of Alabama’s spring practices, including Saturday’s scrimmage.
The 6-foot, 195-pounder for Beaumont, Texas, has played in 26 career games, totaling 26 tackles, including two tackles for loss, during his two seasons at Alabama.
