Earlier today Nick Saban announced the dismissal of rising sophomore linebacker VanDarius Cowan.
Cowan was dismissed due to violation of team rules. Last week Cowan was accused of punching a man in the face while at a bar. He was charged with a misdemeanor assault due to the incident. More details were released stating that the victim is a 26-year-old man and received nerve damage and broken teeth due to the incident.
With Cowan’s dismissal, the linebacker depth at Alabama is now thinner than during spring ball. Alabama has two starters at inside linebacker in Dylan Moses and Mack Wilson but what happens if either of them gets hurt?
