Alabama OL Elijah Pritchett arrested for knowingly spreading STD

Alabama redshirt freshman offensive lineman Elijah Pritchett was arrested Wednesday night by Tuscaloosa Police according to a report by the Tuscaloosa Thread.

Pritchett was charged with knowingly spreading a sexually transmitted disease per the report and was later released on a $500 bond.

The 19-year-old appeared in 13 games for the Crimson Tide this season largely in a reserve role. Before the season Pritchett was competing with true freshman offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor for the starting job at left tackle which was ultimately won by Proctor.

Last week, Pritchett briefly entered the NCAA transfer portal and would withdraw his name just one day later.
