If Brandon Moore is going to carry the on-field progress he made for Alabama in 2010 into 2011, he’ll have a little bit of an off-field hiccup to overcome in order to do so.
Head coach Nick Saban announced Saturday evening that the defensive end has been indefinitely suspended from the football program. The reason, of course, is the ominous “violations of unspecified team rules”.
Based on Saban’s words, it doesn’t appear that Moore will be returning at any point in the near future.
“That’s indefinite,” the coach said. “We don’t know what’s happening there.”
Last season, Moore played in four games. The redshirt sophomore was expected to challenge for significant playing time for the Tide in 2011.
Moore, incidentally, becomes the second Tide player indefinitely suspended this spring; defensive back Robby Green was suspended this past Monday.
