TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama defensive back Simeon Castille was ruled academically ineligible for the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 2 against Texas Tech.
Castille started every game this season and made two interceptions. Coach Mike Shula said Thursday the sophomore was ineligible under a Southeastern Conference rule.
"Everyone else should make the trip, as far as we know, right now," Shula said.
The loss of Castille could be significant against a Texas Tech team that relies on the pass. Sophomore Eric Gray and junior Jeffrey Dukes are expected to share time at defensive back in place of Castille.
