Former Ohio State assistant coach Zach Smith expects to meet with investigators working on behalf of the university early next week, Smith's attorney confirmed Saturday.
Smith was fired from his position as the Buckeyes' wide receiver coach in late July after details of domestic abuse allegations made against him years earlier came to light in a report from college football reporter Brett McMurphy. Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer said the day after firing Smith that he had no knowledge about a domestic assault allegations against his former assistant that was made in 2015. Meyer later backtracked from that statement, and Smith confirmed that Meyer did know police were investigation allegations against him during the fall of 2015.
