BALLER Twitter: University of Alabama WR Kenny Bell tweets teammate CB Geno Smith

University of Alabama Sophomore Cornerback Geno Smith was arrested and charged with Driving Under the Influence by the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s office on Sunday morning. A day before this DUI incident, Smith posted a photo on his Instagram account in memory of DeAntre Truman who died this past Friday while playing football in his high school scrimmage game. Truman broke his neck after a tackle and was pronounced dead hours later.

Smith’s fellow teammate Wide Receiver Kenny Bell took to his twitter account to share some positivity on Smith’s DUI charge and arrest. A minor setback is not a DUI charge, but we will let the upperclassman give Smith some hope. One wonders if the DUI charge is a direct result of Smith’s reaction to DeAntre Truman’s death. These young men definitely need some support during these difficult times.
