An arrest warrant has been issued for Alabama Crimson Tide redshirt freshman safety Deionte Thompson in a felony aggravated assault case, according to Texas news station KBMT.

According to the report, 18-year-old Noah Frillou was severely beaten and knocked unconscious at Crystal Beach on March 18 over spring break. Frillou reportedly suffered broken bones and a concussion.

Thompson, a former four-star prospect in the Class of 2015, played in 14 games last season and tied for the team lead with eight tackles on kickoff coverage.
