On Tuesday morning, Taylor, a senior, took to Twitter for the first time since his arrest. Despite the disappointing mistake that led to his suspension, he seems to be taking the optimistic route:

Taylor started 15 games for the Crimson Tide in 2015. If he is to miss any action — chances are he will — it’s likely that redshirt freshman Brandon Kennedy will take his place.
