Alabama Defensive Player Suspended Following Incident with Coaching Staff
Alabama football is facing another shakeup after the announcement of linebacker Keanu Koht’s suspension. Head coach Kalen DeBoer confirmed the decision during a press conference on Monday, emphasizing that the team will address the matter internally. While details of the incident remain undisclosed, reports suggest the suspension follows tensions during a practice session and a heated exchange with a coach.
Koht, a former four-star recruit, has played in seven games this season, contributing five tackles, 0.5 sacks, and a fumble recovery. His absence will leave a gap in Alabama’s defensive rotation, particularly in the “Wolf” linebacker position, which already faces challenges due to injuries. With Koht sidelined, younger players such as Qua Russaw and Yhonzae Pierre will likely need to step up in the coming games, including the team’s matchup against Mercer this weekend【7】【8】【9】.
DeBoer declined to specify the length of Koht’s suspension, focusing instead on maintaining the team’s internal discipline. This development highlights Alabama’s continued efforts to manage on-field performance and off-field conduct as the season progresses【8】【9】.
