Charles Baldwin's tenure with the Alabama Crimson Tide football program ended before it began, as the offensive tackle was dismissed from the program on Thursday.
Per Michael Casagrande of AL.com, Alabama head coach Nick Saban confirmed Baldwin's dismissal in a brief statement: "Charles Baldwin has been dismissed from the program for a violation of team rules."
Baldwin originally announced his commitment to Alabama as a junior college transfer last June while playing at ASA College.
The New York native explained his decision to join the Crimson Tide to Drew Champlin of AL.
