LSU defensive tackle Maason Smith will miss the remainder of the season after reportedly sustaining a serious injury while celebrating during the opening series of the Tigers’ Week 1 loss against Florida State on Sunday.

Smith, who was selected as part of the All-SEC Freshman Team last season, suffered a torn ACL that will sideline him for the rest of his sophomore campaign, sources told The Athletic.
