Michigan defensive lineman Mazi Smith is facing a concealed weapons charge originating from an October incident, according to Michigan court records.
Per Ann Arbor’s 15th District Court records, the felony charges were filed Wednesday for an incident that occurred Oct. 7, a day before the Wolverines were set to play at Indiana. No details about the incident were released with the court records, but Michigan later said in a statement it occurred during a traffic stop. Smith will remain a member of the Wolverines’ squad, per athletic director Warde Manuel.
Smith has appeared in all 12 of Michigan’s games, tallying 43 total tackles and 0.5 sacks in an undefeated season for the Wolverines. He was a consensus pick for the All-Big Ten First Team.
