Georgia athletics looks ‘to intensify efforts’ to slow speeding trend

GREENSBORO, N.C. — If there is a crackdown on fast cars and law-breaking within the Georgia football program, there is no way of knowing.

Coach Kirby Smart has remained silent on the situation since answering questions in March about a double-fatality accident that occurred in January. Since then, four football players have been arrested – not just ticketed – for reckless driving and speeding. The latest infraction occurred this week when senior wide receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint was taken to jail after he was clocked driving 90 in a 45-mph zone in his 2020 Dodge Charger.

Since mid-February, linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson, defensive lineman Jalen Carter and wide receiver De’Nylon Morrissette found themselves incarcerated on similar charges. Morrissette, a 19-year-old sophomore from Stone Mountain, also was charged with driving under the influence.
