Click here for linkAlabama will stick by its football scholarship to one of Georgia’s top running backs after his season-ending knee injury.
Justin Taylor tore the ACL in his right knee last week in practice. North Atlanta High School coach Stanley Pritchett said he talked with Alabama assistant Chris Rumph.
“Alabama said they are going to stay committed to him,” Pritchett told the AJC. “That’s a good thing, you know, when a team will stick by a guy who is injured. That’s really good by Alabama. And I know Justin will work hard to get his knee back right and be ready to go next season in college.”
The injury was a big blow for Taylor, who was starting to make his case to be Georgia’s No. 1-ranked college prospect at running back. He rushed for 120 yards in the season-opener.
