Alabama stops recruiting Wichita State's Jaykwon Walton after arrest

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Former Wichita State player Jaykwon Walton, who had previously announced plans to transfer to Alabama, has been arrested on a charge of second-degree possession of marijuana.

Walton had announced his commitment to the Crimson Tide in March, but coach Nate Oats said that won't happen now.

"Alabama is no longer recruiting Jaykwon Walton and he will not be a student-athlete at the University of Alabama," Oats said in a statement on Monday.

A Tuscaloosa police news release said Walton, 21, and Kameron Deshawn Harris, 21, were arrested late Saturday night after multiple complaints about a large number of vehicles at apartment complexes near campus.
