Alabama linebacker commit VanDarius Cowan has been kicked off his high school team for poor behavior, according to the Palm Beach Post. BamaOnLine can confirm the report.

"It is believed Cowan’s dismissal stems from behavior during the Gators’ 12-10 loss to Wellington on Thursday. Coach Rob Freeman removed the linebacker from the pivotal game in the first quarter following two penalties that put the Wolverines deep in Gators territory. After Cowan was taken out of the game, he ate on the sidelines, was seen talking to fans through the fence behind the bench and paid little attention to the game. The loss cost the Gators a shot at the District 9-8A title."

The four-star 'backer from Palm Beach Gardens (Fla.) will no longer participate in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl as a result.

Cowan flipped to Alabama from Florida State last April, and was in Tuscaloosa on his official visit over the weekend for the Texas A&M game.

The 6-foot-4, 226-pounder is rated the No. 4 outside linebacker and the No. 70 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.

The Top100 'backer is a firm commitment to the Crimson Tide, but plans to continue taking official visits, with the next trip scheduled for Nov. 5 for the Alabama-LSU game.
