It’s unclear when — or if — Hunter Brannon will return to the Alabama football team.

The redshirt sophomore offensive lineman is dealing with “medical issues” and hasn’t been cleared to return to football, according to coach Nick Saban.

“What the future holds for him is still sort of a question mark, whether he’ll be able to come back and play or not,” Saban said. "So we just have to wait and see how that works out.”

The Cullman native was a three-star member of Alabama’s 2017 recruiting class.
