Torrey Smith weighs in on Maryland football allegations

Former Maryland wide receiver Torrey Smith is taking a cautious approach in responding to allegations of a toxic culture at his alma mater.

Smith, currently playing for the Carolina Panthers, said he was waiting for the investigation to play out, but admitted that the reports coming out of College Park did not look good.

Torrey Smith on allegations of abuse at his Maryland alma mater: "You’ve got to let the investigation play itself out. But no matter what happens, it’s not a good look for our university."

We are, indeed, still waiting on the school as it conducts a formal investigation into the football program. The original report did look very bad for Maryland and may ultimately cost coach D.J. Durkin his job, and it’s probably wise that Smith isn’t reflexively defending the coaching staff and the program here as some other current and former Maryland players have done.
