Per Nick Saban, starting Senior linebacker Trey Depriest will be suspended for the season opener against West Virginia for a minor NCAA infraction.
Alabama starting LB Trey DePriest will miss Saturday’s game “due to a minor NCAA infraction,” per Saban. He’ll be back Week 2.

Depriest is expected to fill the void that CJ Mosley left when he entered the NFL Draft this past spring. Though Depriest won’t be out there on Saturday, the Crimson Tide aren’t exactly hurting for talent at the linebacker position and should be able to make it through the opener without him.
