The Maurice Smith transfer saga took another turn Wednesday, with a letter surfacing that says an Alabama staffer cleared out Smith’s locker and threw some of his belongings in the trash after Smith told coaches he wanted to transfer.
Smith’s mother, Samyra Smith, provided a letter to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution written by Maurice Smith that dealt with his treatment by the program after telling coach Nick Saban he wanted to transfer. In the letter, Smith says personal items in his locker were thrown in the trash.
He said he talked to Saban on June 16 and arrived at the football facility the next day to find his personal items in the trash.
