Elijah Pritchett is in some serious trouble.
The Alabama offensive lineman was arrested Wednesday and charged with knowingly passing on a sexually transmitted disease.
According to the Tuscaloosa Thread, a report was filed last week that led to a warrant for the redshirt freshman offensive lineman’s arrest.
He was charged under AL Code § 22-11A-21 which states: “Any person afflicted with a sexually transmitted disease who shall knowingly transmit, or assume the risk of transmitting, or do any act which will probably or likely transmit such disease to another person shall be guilty of a Class C misdemeanor.”
He was released on a $500 bond.
Pritchett, a redshirt freshman, made news over the weekend, declaring his intent to enter the transfer portal only to change his mind and remain with the team a day later. He might have to change his mind once again.

Alabama is currently preparing for a College Football Playoff semifinal game against Michigan. However, this arrest has thrown Elijah Pritchett’s status for the game into doubt.
