Tide WR hospitalized following early-morning altercation

Andrew Gribble reports that Tide wide receiver DeAndrew White was hospitalized following some type of altercation outside of The Strip sometime around 2 a.m. local time Thursday. White sustained what the paper described as an apparent concussion.

A 31-year-old man suffered severe head injuries during an altercation at around the same time, the News reported, although it’s unclear if those injuries occurred during the same incident or a different one. A pair of males in their early 20s were arrested for firing a gun into the air in an apparent attempt to break up the scuffle. University police said neither individual was directly involved in the altercation.

There are no details yet as to White’s involvement in the incident was, or if he was even directly involved, and what led to his head injury.

The UA football program, which is scheduled to be honored at the White House today for its 2011 national championship, has yet to comment on the situation or update White’s health.
