Alabama 4-Star Freshman VanDarius Cowan Dismissed From Football Team

Alabama head coach Nick Saban announced Monday morning that four-star freshman linebacker VanDarius Cowan has been dismissed from the team. Cowan was arrested last month at a Tuscaloosa bar for misdemeanor assault. Per the Tuscaloosa News...

quote:
Cowan was charged with third-degree assault, Tuscaloosa Police confirmed. He turned himself in Thursday and immediately posted $500 bond without having to go to jail, which isn’t uncommon for misdemeanor charges through TPD.

According to the police report, Cowan is accused of punching Jesse Ray, 26, in the face at High Tide bar off the Strip early on the morning of June 23.

Ray told The Tuscaloosa News that he was entering the bar as Cowan was leaving and said he did nothing to provoke him.

What about the team vote?

idlewatcher•70 months

I guess he wasn’t going to start

Datbayoubengal•70 months

Yeah, came into a college bar and punched a guy unprovoked. Sounds like a load of bullshite to me. Don't know the real reason why he was dismissed, but it damn sure wasn't over this, and I really don't believe that's how that altercation went down.

imjustafatkid•69 months

I'm sure there's video.

AUsteriskPride•69 months

Very well could have been pissed and hit the first guy he saw.

Cowan: can I keep my charger? Saban: what charger? Cowan: the one you.... Saban: well, now my answer is no

Why don’t stories like this show up in the “Latest SEC Headlines” section. The last story listed there is very old. If you click through the header, there are more recent SEC stories. On the main boards, admins move threads between boards. Small but annoying first world problem.

LafourcheTiger•70 months

Didn’t provoke him my arse. They guy that got punched was probably paid by a Gump booster to start shite with VanDarius. VanDaruis takes the bait and boom instant roster spot opens up

RECConspiracy•69 months

Yep, the REC was behind it.

PoppaD•70 months

Does he have to return the Dodge Charger? How does that work?

Strannix•70 months

Processed

DaleGribblesMower•70 months

VanDarious? I would've dismissed him too

ColoBama•70 months

4 star. Processed. Goodbye.

DoubleDown•70 months

So if Bama doesn't kick kids off the team it's "Bama never punishes it's players!". Then we do kick one off the team and it's "He didn't fit into the depth chart, so he got processed!". Got it.

Wanna double down in that 1? I say you are wrong.

Nix to Twillie•69 months

Yep

SomeLSUguy•69 months

Precisely! It seems as though you are starting to understand...

surgicalvenom•70 months

The kid played as a true freshman and Bama is thin at LB. So for Saban to dismiss him, there had to be a real problem.

Off McVoy•70 months

He had two tackles all year- both against Mercer bro......He's been processed.

SAINTS0321•70 months

Yes wicked to the core.

Off McVoy•70 months

Saban's such a prick......He's kept kids that did much worse- this is about opening up a roster spot because this kid just isn't as Nicky thought he was.

Off McVoy•70 months

Should read "this kid just isn't as good as Nicky thought he was.

SAINTS0321•70 months

Miss Butthurtedness..Saban is perfect..

whoyodaddy•70 months

Punching someone in a college bar is definitely worse than a stolen gun and drugs. Or maybe, Cowan just didn't fit into the Bama depth chart very well.

SAINTS0321•70 months

Or maybe you are permanently butthurt

how about you stop replying to everyone, nobody gives a shite.
