Alabama DB Geno Smith arrested for DUI
Alabama senior defensive back Geno Smith was arrested early Saturday morning for driving under the influence. This is the second time Smith, a projected starter at free safety, has been arrested for DUI during his time at Alabama.
The 6-foot, 197-pound Smith was previously arrested in August 2013 and was suspended for the opening game of that season. According to Al.com, Smith remained in Tuscaloosa County Jail as of “early Saturday afternoon” and missed the Crimson Tide’s fifth practice of the spring.
Smith started six games for the Crimson Tide last season and was fifth on the team with 56 tackles. Smith provided depth at both cornerback and safety in 2013, registering 10 tackles and four pass breakups in 12 games played. He also played in 13 games as a freshman in 2012 and finished with nine tackles.
He has started eight games total in his career.
Smith was the favorite to replace Nick Perry at free safety for the Tide this season and has been practicing with the first team during the spring, per Al.com.
The program has not yet commented on Smith’s arrest or status with the program.
