Alabama reserve defensive back Maurice Smith said Monday that he's "willing to go as far as it takes" in his ongoing battle with the Crimson Tide, who have blocked his request to join SEC rival Georgia as a graduate transfer.
Speaking publicly for the first time about his battle with the school, Smith said he was determined to see the process through, telling AL.com that he believes the situation is "bigger than me."
"I believe that this will not only help me but help anyone else who comes into my situation in the future," Smith, a senior who graduated from Alabama in three years, said in the interview.
