Last season, en route to yet another national championship victory, the six-foot-five offensive lineman started all 15 of the Crimson Tide’s games at the right guard position.
His arrest comes just a few days after coach Nick Saban announced that Cam Robinson, the team’s best offensive lineman, would not miss any playing time if he satisfied all of the internal requirements the Alabama program had set up for him after the player had been arrested along with reserve defensive back Hootie Jones in March. Alabama posted a thrilling 45-40 victory over Clemson in the College Football Playoff Championship on January 11, 2016, in Glendale, Ariz.
In what has been a trying offseason for Alabama football, another player has found himself in trouble with the law.

However, he is still 345 pounds according to his bio on RollTide.com, which is the same weight he recorded last season. The charges were later dropped and Saban said Robinson wouldn’t be suspended.
