Alabama starting nickel back Tony Brown's family in Texas has been displaced by the flood waters from Hurricane Harvey, coach Nick Saban said during his weekly radio show on Thursday night.
While Brown's family home in Beaumont hasn't been damaged, streets are flooded and impassible, Saban said, creating a difficult situation for Brown's father, who is in poor health and currently staying in a shelter.
As a result, Saban said that the team will have Brown's father helicoptered to a hotel in College Station.
All told, 13 players on Alabama's roster are from the state of Texas.
