HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — A player kicked off Tennessee's football team has transferred to Marshall three weeks after his arrest on drunken driving charges.
Freshman tight end Lee Smith is the latest player to land at Marshall after being dismissed elsewhere.
Smith, who practiced with the Thundering Herd on Thursday, has to sit out one season due to NCAA transfer rules, said Marshall sports information director Randy Burnside.
Smith's father, Daryle, played at Tennessee and in the NFL.
Smith, 18, was arrested Aug. 2, a few days before the start of preseason practice, after a Tennessee campus police officer saw him driving on the sidewalk. Smith, who had been attending summer school, told officers he was trying to turn around in the street.
The officer who stopped Smith said the player failed four field sobriety tests and refused to take a breathalyzer test, according to an affidavit filed with the Knox County (Tenn.) General Sessions Court.
Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer said there were other issues that led to the dismissal.
The 6-foot-6 Smith attended Powell High in Knoxville, Tenn., the same high school as Marshall offensive lineman Zane Bruhin and the same hometown as former Marshall star and current New York Jets quarterback Chad Pennington.
Bruhin, a redshirt freshman, was not allowed to dress with the team the entire 2005 season after being charged with drunken driving last September.
In 2004, running back Ahmad Bradshaw joined Marshall as a walk-on after he was dismissed from the University of Virginia's team following his arrest. He later pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and underage drinking, received a suspended sentence and was ordered to attend alcohol awareness classes.
Bradshaw led Marshall with 997 yards rushing last season.
In the mid-1990s, Randy Moss walked on at Marshall and eventually became a Heisman Trophy finalist.
Moss started out at Notre Dame, but his scholarship was revoked after he was charged with attacking another student at DuPont High School. He later landed at Florida State, but he never played there. He was kicked off the team for violating his probation by smoking marijuana and served a brief jail stint before coming to Marshall.
