Joel Smith not returning for 2008-2009 season

Posted at 5:32 pm by John Boyle

Today, the school announced that Joel Smith will not be returning next season. Smith, who redshirted two seasons ago because of injury, will graduate soon with a degree in American Ethnic Studies, but had a year of eligibility left.
