Jonathan Taylor, formerly of Georgia Bulldogs, enrolls at University of Alabama - ESPN
Former Georgia defensive lineman Jonathan Taylor, who was dismissed from the team in July after he was arrested for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, enrolled in classes at Alabama on Wednesday.
Yes, he can play. But, given that Pettway got a second chance already, does Alabama really want to get LSU's reputation for turning a blind eye to potentially-felonious assaults?

SEC football by the numbers | AL.com

He better hope this works out, because this is the coordinator equivalent of pulling a Petrino.Why Chavis would torpedo a two-decade+ reputation is, frankly, beyond me.
