The Tuscaloosa Police Department in Alabama detained offensive lineman Elijah Pritchett, who plays for the
Alabama Crimson Tide football team, on Wednesday night, according to AL.com. The 19-year-old was accused of
intentionally transmitting a sexually transmitted infection. Prichett was given a $500 bond and freed. Pritchett faces
a maximum fine of $500 or three months in jail if found guilty of the Class C misdemeanor offense.
From Midland, Georgia, Pritchett participated in two games the previous season. The offensive lineman participated
in all 13 games this season and supported the squad in the SEC Tournament earlier this month. Pritchett declared
following the SEC championship game that he intended to use the transfer site, but on December 16 he decided
against it. “It is not in my best interest to transfer. I sincerely regret for any trouble caused. I’m completely confined.
“Roll Tide!” Pritchett told On3 in a statement.
Less than two weeks have passed since the arrest before Alabama’s semifinal College Football Playoff matchup with
Michigan. With head coach Nick Saban at the helm, the Crimson Tide could win their seventh national
championship and their second in the last four years.
According to Sports Illustrated earlier this month, head coach Nick Saban stated, “Our team is very excited about
having the opportunity to play the No. 1 team in the country, the University of Michigan.” “The Big Ten champions
have had an incredibly successful season. They deserve my congratulations for it. We’re excited about the challenge
that lies ahead in terms of what we need to do to get ready and perform at our highest level against the top squad.
In addition, Saban mentioned his team’s 6-1 record in semifinal College Football Playoff games. “I think early on in
preparation for these games when you have this long span of time, we probably practiced too much, and by the time
we got to the game, our players were probably mentally and physically maybe not in peak performance,” he stated.
“So as we’ve transitioned through the years, we’ve kind of learned how much you need to practice and how you can
psychologically get them in the right place at the right time.”
