Former Alabama LB Trey DePriest arrested in Ohio

Unfortunate news for the former Alabama LB

Unfortunate news to post on the wire this evening as former Alabama linebacker Trey DePriest has been arrested in Ohio by U.S. Marshals.

DePriest was wanted for armed robbery, assault, and felonious assault in a case that stemmed out of Detroit, according to online court records. The charges were originally filed against DePriest on Nov. 11.

DePriest was a highly coveted prospect from Springfield, OH, and came to Tuscaloosa as a part of the 2011 signing class. After going undrafted, DePriest would be picked up briefly by the Baltimore Ravens before ultimately being cut.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor the situation surrounding DePriest and will provide an update as soon as possible.

We are 33 days from Alabama football kicking off its season on the road against the Missouri Tigers to start a 10-game, SEC only schedule.

There has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding college football over the last couple of weeks, but as of right now, the season still looks like it’s a go for the SEC, ACC and Big 12.

So, what does that mean? It means that we can continue the Countdown to Kickoff en route to the Crimson Tide — and the rest of the SEC — getting things underway on Sept. 26.

With it now being Aug. 24, we are officially 33 days away from the start!

True freshman inside linebacker Jackson Bratton out of Muscle Shoals is now wearing the No. 33 for Alabama after several prominent players have worn it in the past.

For the last several seasons, Anfernee Jennings rocked the number while proving to be one of the more productive edge players in school history. Prior to Jennings, players such as linebacker Trey DePriest and fullback LeRon McClain wore it.
