Alabama is gaining a former SEC player for the 2015 season.
Per TideSports.com, former Georgia defensive tackle Jonathan Taylor will enroll at Alabama on Wednesday. Taylor was dismissed from Georgia in July and spent the 2014 season at a junior college.
His dismissal came after he was arrested for aggravated assault after allegedly assaulting his girfriend at a dorm. Per police, the evidence and witness accounts in the incident showed that Taylor had choked her and struck her with a closed fist. According to Georgia's Clarke County court records system, the bench warrant in the case was dismissed on December 29.
The aggravated assault charges were Taylor's second run-in with the law at Georgia. He was one of the Georgia players who were accused of double-dipping tuition checks in the spring.
Taylor was a four-star defensive tackle in the class of 2012 according to Rivals and set to be a redshirt sophomore in 2014. He played at Copiah-Lincoln Community college in Mississippi this season.
