While Georgia prepares for the upcoming football season as the two-time defending national champion, the Bulldogs have dealt with a variety of off-the-field issues. Several times this year, Georgia players have been arrested or cited in regard to driving incidents, including suspicion of DUI.
The issues began when former offensive lineman Devin Willock and recruiting analyst Chandler LeCroy died in a car crash in January in an incident that led to former defensive lineman Jalen Carter getting charged for street racing. Since then, linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson, wide receiver De’Nylon Morrissette and wideout Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint have been arrested for vehicle-related offenses.
Speaking at the SEC meetings in Destin, Fla., on Tuesday, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart assured the media that his program is dealing with the incidents, although he declined to get into specifics.
