It seems odd he just punched a random person at the bar.

I'm guessing a snarky/inappropriate comment (or worse) and a huge linebacker who may not handle a buzz well....
...and someone who is old enough to have graduated or is seeking an advanced degree...Very strange.
I'm sure Auburn will take him. You have to murder someone down on the plains for it to even make the newspapers. Bar fights would be just the standard weekend coverup.
I care even less about his career than he apparently does. Most people will never get anything close to the chance he was afforded. I just hope he stays out of jail and doesn’t harm others. Maybe he will eventually figure it out.
Several thoughts here.
First, to quote Bugs Bunny, “What a maroon.” Golden lifetime opportunity, at a position of need, and throw it away in a college bar.
Second, as others have already stated, this stuff doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Social problems, academic problems, and problems playing within a system most often go together, due to the fundamental mindset that leads to all three.
Finally, due to #2 above, I’m guessing there’s a lot more incidents of all kinds that haven’t made the news. If it were his first incident, I doubt it would have resulted in immediate and total dismissal.

I`m pretty sure that the above would qualify as a dangerous combo !! If accurate, not exactly stellar judgment on the part of the punchee ( not in any way justifying the actions of the puncher, mind you ).
Looks like we might be seeing him on Last Chance U [emoji3].
Seriously, though I hope he can get the right people in his life to guide him to make better decisions. One opportunity is missed and hope he takes advantage of his next one wherever that may be.

Keep that kind of stuff up and you can find that your next " opportunity " is on the back of a garbage truck. Or worse. Not meant as a slight to sanitation workers, just intended as an example of a " what could have been " moment.
The man managing the roster is really the only thing that matters here. Coach brought the kid in, worked with him and then cut him...nuf said.
Will never fault CNS for giving the kid every opportunity to get his act together. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.
For the guys making the snarky AU comments, I would take him if he goes to JUCO for a year, pays his dues and seems to get his act together. I'm all about giving a kid that screwed up a shot provided he takes the opportunity to learn and grow from his mistakes.
So would I. Come to think of it, hasn`t CNS done precisely that, or something similar? A certain player from Georgia comes to mind. May not have been exactly the same.
I agree. Bama did this with DJ Pettway and it turned out well for both parties. And the original school he left was Bama and his crime was far worse, though his involvement was sketchy. He tried the NFL and was not able to make it. Jeremy Pruitt has hired him to his UT staff (defensive quality control asst). That's a great recommendation. Hope it continues to work out for him.
Looks like it would depend on the final charges...
SEC expands its serious misconduct policy to include high school players

My thing is, his was more of a assault charge... But either way, I don't expect him to land at a SEC school next year. JUCO is his best shot and He can land at P5 schools next year.
