Brady Smith, a star defensive end from Maryland who played on Boston College's 2007 team who went 11-3, was suspended from the team and university after a sexual assault and burglary allegation on campus. Bail was set at $50,000 and Smith was ordered to stay away from the woman and BC.
According to the DA, Smith went into a fellow 21 year old student's dorm early Saturday morning and sexually assaulted her as she slept. SHe woke up screaming, and he ran, but was caught by BC police. The victim was able to pick Smith out of a lineup.
BC spokesman Jack Dunn stated that Smith will be suspended pending the outcome of his court case. “Brady Smith was issued a summary suspension from the university as a result of an alleged assault last evening or early this morning. The university has a right to issue summary suspension for incidents that are deemed to be of a serious nature. That suspension remains in effect pending the outcome of court proceedings.”
Boston College Eagles football coach Jeff Jagodzinski issued a press release yesterday saying Smith had been indefinitely suspended from the team for an “undisclosed violation of team rules.” The release said Jagodzinski would have no further comment.
Smith was offered a scholarship to play at BC, according to The Heights, BC's student newspaper. Calls to his parents were not returned. Smith had 29 tackles and 2.5 sacks during the 12 games he started.
