Alabama senior center Evan Cardwell is not expected back with the Crimson Tide's football team this season, the Press-Register has learned.

Cardwell has dealt with a recurring back injury during much of his collegiate career, though it's not clear if he will go on medical scholarship. He has already obtained his undergraduate degree from UA and is currently enrolled in graduate school with a sports management specialty.

Cardwell started at C for the latter half of 2007 after Antione Caldwell's suspension, but saw no (meaningful) playing time last year and never managed to crack the first team rotation during spring practice this year, instead watching William Vlachos and David Ross battle it out through camp. Hopefully he'll get a medical scholarship so he can finish his graduate degree on the University's dime.

That sucks

But I agree, he wouldn’t play much at all. I am hoping a lot of these young guys we have been stockpiling will step up this season.

Better he save himself now so he doesn’t suffer the rest of his life. And assuredly he will finish on medical scholly…

Cardwell

seemed to me to be an overachiever. He was not really that big by todays standards but still he managed to play even if due to suspensions. We will miss him more from the leadership side than from the playing side. Hopefully he will get the medical scholly to help him finish his degree.

I hate the NCAA more than UT & AU combined. At least with UT & AU you got a fighting chance.
