Georgia WR suspended indefinitely after arrest

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Rara Thomas has reportedly been suspended indefinitely following his arrest early on July 26 in Athens-Clarke County. He is being held without bail.

Thomas faces multiple charges including second-degree cruelty to children (family violence) and battery (family violence).

“According to an Athens-Clarke County police statement, police responded to a domestic violence call at 1:34 a.m. Friday on Mill Creek Way. Police said the domestic violence was against Thomas’ child,” wrote Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald. “Thomas was charged and booked into the Clarke County jail. Thomas’ booking occurred at 3:20 a.m.; he was still held at the jail Friday afternoon.”

Thomas, who was arrested in 2023, transferred to Georgia from Mississippi State. Thomas’ 2023 felony and misdemeanor charges were later dismissed.

Thomas was expected to be one of Georgia’s top receivers in 2024, but his arrest and subsequent suspension mean his future with the team is unclear. In 2023, Thomas recorded 23 receptions for 383 receiving yards and one touchdown.
