This is takes the whole situation of Smith transferring into a new direction. It was known that Alabama was not pleased with Smith's decision to transfer as he was slated to be the starting Nickel DB for the Tide this year. Smith was slated to be an integral part of the Alabama secondary, and losing him would hurt, but not be something from which Alabama couldn't be able to recover.
