Texas A&M wide receiver Ainias Smith had his suspension from the team lifted recently, according to Fox26's Mark Berman. Berman spoke to College Station lawyer Craig Greening, who is representing Smith. "I confirmed with Ainias himself that the suspension has been lifted," Greening said. "He can return to football practice. It shows the university believes in his innocence, that they looked at all the facts and they believe the suspension should be lifted." Smith in accordance with school and athletics department policy was suspended following his arrest July 20 on charges of DWI, possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana and unlawfully carrying a weapon. Greening told Berman on Friday that he had reviewed the facts and his client had committed no crime based on the information he studied. - Bryan/College Station Eagle

The lawyer for A&M football player Ainias Smith said Friday his client is innocent of charges that got him arrested early Wednesday. Smith was charged with driving while intoxicated, possession of less than 2 oz. of marijuana and unlawful carrying of a weapon, according to police records. They all carry misdemeanor charges. "I've reviewed the police reports in the case," College Station attorney Craig Greening told Houston Fox26's Mark Berman on Friday. "I'm board certified in criminal law and I'm designated as a lawyer/scientist certified by the American Chemical Society; I've done DWIs for years. I've prosecuted them and I've defended them. I've reviewed the reports in this case and it was obvious that Mr. Smith was not intoxicated." A new law passed in 2021 allows for possession of a firearm in your car for those under 21 years of age as long as you're not committing another crime that's greater than a Class C misdemeanor or a traffic ticket, Greening said.

"Now that we have the passenger's statements stating that the marijuana was his and that Mr. Smith didn't know about it, never possessed it and also never smoked marijuana that day, there was no crime committed by Mr. Smith from what I've reviewed and all the reports that I've been able to see up to this point." Smith was pulled over by University Police while driving 51 mph in a 35-mph zone on University Drive. He was drifting in his lane, according to the probable cause statement. After failing multiple physical intoxication tests, Smith was arrested and consented to a breathalyzer test, which came back with .066 and .061 blood alcohol content readings. The legal limit in the state of Texas is .08. - Bryan/College Station Eagle

2022 PRESEASON MAXWELL AWARD WATCH LIST: Devon Achane, Texas A&M,... Running back Devon Achane is one of America's fastest players at his position. He will get more touches for the Aggies following the exit of Isaiah Spiller to the NFL - which means more opportunity for explosive players.

Achane galloped his way to 910 yards and nine touchdowns as a sophomore, averaging 7 yards per carry. Over his first two years in College Station, he has also registered 29 total receptions for a 12.3 yards per catch average.

Texas A&M receiver Ainias Smith was arrested early Wednesday on charges of driving while intoxicated, unlawful carrying of a weapon and possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana, according to Brazos County jail records. Smith, 21, was arrested by Texas A&M police and was booked into the Brazos County jail. He posted $8,000 bond and was released later Wednesday, according to jail records. The records did not indicate if he had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.

Smith has been suspended from the football team per athletic department policy following his arrest, according to Alan Cannon, a spokesman for Texas A&M. Cannon added that coach Jimbo Fisher was aware of the situation and looking into it. Smith was scheduled to attend SEC Media Days on Thursday in Atlanta with Fisher and two other players.

The spat between Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher and Alabama's Nick Saban appears to be over - at least publicly. A jovial Fisher said repeatedly Wednesday that he was "moving on" from the war of words with his former boss that added some soap-opera drama to the Southeastern Conference's spring meetings this week. Fisher said he and Saban had "normal conversations" during two days of meetings with the other 12 SEC football coaches.

The coaches covered topics such as future scheduling models for the conference, transfer rules and how college sports can get a handle on the way athletes are compensated for use of their names, images and likenesses. "It's over with. We're done talking about it. We're moving on to the future of what goes on and try to fix the problems that we have in college football," Fisher said. "There's a lot more pressing needs than our arguments." "We're done. We're moving on. I have no problem," he added. The next time Saban and Fisher are guaranteed to get together is Oct. 8 when the Crimson Tide hosts the Aggies. Texas A&M upset then-No. 1 Alabama last season in College Station, Texas. - AP College Football
