Jets' Stone Smartt: Active for Week 15
Jets' Stone Smartt: Active for Week 15
maxpreps.cbssports.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
-
Multiple outlets in early May 2026 reported that Taylor Smartt, the UAB softball head coach, stepped away from the program amid an ongoing investigation into allegations of misconduct, racism, and related issues. The university had not provided a final determination as of those reports, and interim leadership was in place for the program during the period in question. These developments followed her administrative leave announced in late April 2026.
-
Coverage indicated the situation involved significant controversy and that UAB would proceed with due process before any final decision on Smartt’s employment. The broader reporting framed this as an evolving story with no definitive public conclusion at the time of publication.
-
Related chatter and adjacent sports outlets noted additional context around the program’s timing, including a scheduled conference tournament and regular-season ends around late April to early May 2026. These reports helped establish the timeline of events surrounding the leave and subsequent absence from competition.
If you’d like, I can pull the most up-to-date articles and summarize any new developments, or set up a brief timeline of key dates and statements from UAB and the AAC.
