The complaint added that “people [texted] that they were going to get up with him after the season.”

According to ESPN, police found $400 that was located in a jacket during a search of his home.The search, which included an inspection of Holloway’s trash, came after police received “complaints,” ESPN said, citing the search warrant. 

However, Holloway’s attorney told ESPN the search was unconstitutional, and he would fight to ensure that prosecutors cannot use what they found in the legal proceedings.

But head coach Nate Oats hinted it was unlikely Holloway would return to the team for the second weekend if they get there.

The Crimson Tide entered the tournament as one of the more successful squads of late, winning nine of 11 games before the tournament.

It’s worth noting that, as of June 2024, theNCAA Division I Councilremoved marijuana from its banned substances list for championships and postseason football. 

Holloway is in his third season with the Crimson Tide, returning to the starting role he had during his freshman year in the 2023-24 campaign.
