Tennessee’s defense may be without a senior leader in its secondary against Alabama.
According to Trey Wallace of OutKick via FOX, defensive back Jaylen McCollough got arrested Sunday on a felony assault charge.
The police report said, “aggravated assault” at 9:14 p.m.
No monetary offer has been made for his bond. McCollough is a starter for the Volunteers through five games. The 6-foot, 205-pounder has 23 tackles, a tackle for loss, and two quarterback hurries. He led Tennessee for interceptions (three) in 2021 and had five pass breakups, a quarterback hurry, a forced fumble, 49 total tackles, and 3.
