Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter pleaded no contest on Thursday, following his misdemeanour charges of reckless driving and racing that led to the death of his team-mate.
That's according to his attorney Kim Stephens, who confirmed the news with ESPN following the hearing on Thursday. The NFL draft hopeful was sentenced to 12 months of probation, handed a $1,000 (£827) fine and must complete 80 hours of community service.
Carter will also attend a state-approved defensive driving course, although Stephens is adamant that Carter did not cause a car wreck on January 15. The defensive tackle was at the scene of a fatal crash on January 15, which led to the death of Georgia football staff member Chandler LeCroy and team-mate Devin Willock.
