Alabama football coach Nick Saban said linebackers Prince Hall and Brandon Fanney have been suspended for the start of spring practice.

Hall has been in and out of Saban’s doghouse the past two seasons. The inside linebacker was suspended for the start of last season and played sporadically on defense, but was on special teams.

Fanney started every game last season at outside linebacker.

“Prince Hall is not going to be participating in spring practice for violation of team rules and policies,“ Saban said Friday. “Brandon Fanney will not participate today because of violation of team rules and policies. I don’t know when he will return. Prince Hall is suspended indefinitely.“
