FOOTBALL
ALABAMA: Alabama is looking into an incident in which wide receiver Jermaine Burton appeared to make contact with a female Tennessee fan while coming off the field following Saturday’s loss.
A video posted on TikTok showed Burton thrusting his right arm toward the woman’s head as she celebrated the Volunteers’ upset win, after she appeared to dance in front of his path. She could be seen holding her head while looking back at Burton afterward.
“We are aware of the situation with Jermaine Burton as he was exiting the field Saturday,” Crimson Tide Coach Nick Saban said. “We are currently working to gather information.”
Then-No. 1 Alabama lost to sixth-ranked Tennessee 52-49 on a last-play field goal at Neyland Stadium.
Burton has started every game for No. 6 Alabama since transferring from Georgia, making 18 catches for 266 yards and three touchdowns.
The Vols moved to No. 3 after knocking off the Tide.
MISSISSIPPI STATE: Freshman offensive lineman Sam Westmoreland has died at the age of 18, the school announced.
The school did not provide details in announcing the death of Westmoreland, an industrial technology major from Tupelo who would have turned 19 on Friday.
It said in a news release that it was working with the athletic department, the Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s Office and the coroner’s office to determine facts of the death and would not comment further.
Messages left with the sheriff’s office and coroner’s office were not immediately returned.
Westmoreland, 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds, was listed on the roster for the Bulldogs’ Southeastern Conference game Saturday at No. 6 Alabama. He had not played this season, according to the game notes.
MSU Coach Mike Leach said in the news release that the athletics family was heartbroken by Westmoreland’s death, which he called sudden.
“Sam was a beloved son, brother and teammate, and a tremendous young man with a limitless future,” Leach said. “He will always be remembered and deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved him. Our highest priority is the support of the Westmoreland family and our student-athletes during this troubling time.”
