Alabama RB ruled ineligible

Freshman Alabama running back DeSherrius Flowers has been ruled ineligble and will not enroll in Tuscaloosa in the fall, the school has said. The school found an eligibility issue which means he will not be cleared to enroll.

The player, who hails from Shreveport, LA, plays at Calvary Baptist Academy and is considered the 10th-best player in Louisiana, the 12th-best cornerback in the country and the 221st-best player overall, according to 247Sports.com.
