He was reportedly sentenced under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act, which means the incident will be wiped from his record when/if he completes his probation sentence and community service hours.

In the meantime, Smith will forego his remaining eligibility and declare for the 2023 NFL Draft, according to a Monday afternoon report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
