Alabama men’s basketball head coach Nate Oats made it clear that the Crimson Tide will no longer be recruiting Wichita State transfer, Jaykwon Walton. This comes shortly after Walton was arrested in Tuscaloosa on a charge of second-degree marijuana possession.
“[Alabama is] no longer recruiting Jaykwon Walton and he will not be a student-athlete at the University of Alabama,” said Oats.
Walton’s career began at Georgia, where he played for two seasons. He then transferred to Shelton State and then to Wichita State. Alabama was expected to be his fourth destination, but that will no longer be the case.
Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow Alabama basketball as the offseason progresses.
