Former Georgia and Wichita State forward Jaykwon Walton will no longer transfer to Alabama, Crimson Tide coach Nate Oats said in a statement Monday afternoon. The decision comes after Walton was reportedly arrested Saturday night on second-degree marijuana possession charges.
"Alabama is no longer recruiting Jaykwon Walton and he will not be a student-athlete at The University of Alabama," Oats said.
Walton, 21, had committed to play for Alabama on March 28, shortly after the Crimson Tide were eliminated from the NCAA tournament by San Diego State.
