“We always start with a negative,” he said via On3 Sports. “And ‘not our standard’ is, ‘Georgia Brede receives arrested for driving 900 miles per hour above the speed limit.’ It’s a weekly event.
“So that’s one of the things we show. You know this guy at Usfl got a DUI, this guy at this college shoots a paintball gun.”
The latest arrests in the Georgia football program came in March when the broad recipient Nitro Tuggle was drawn to run 107 mph, according to Georgia authorities. Offensive Lineman Marques Easley was reportedly also involved in a vehicle accident.
Georgia was met with tragedy in January 2023 when the offensive Lineman Devin Willock and recruiting employee Chandler Lecroy were killed in a crash that took place while Lecroy and Defensive Tackle Jalen Carter were driving.

Former Bulldogs, who ran back Trevor Etienne, missed the season opener in 2024, and Cornerback Daniel Harris was kept out of a game over driving -related arrests.
“We will continue to look at these on a case-by-case basis,” said Bulldgos head coach Kirby Smart in March via Athens Banner-Herald. “There are things that surround each of these outside of just the immediate reaction, ‘How in the world can this happen again?’ And I get that, but each one is a matter of case.

“You have to look at as it is your children. That’s how I look at it. I see (on) what I would do with my children and there are 18 to 19 to 20-year-olds. They make mistakes. The consequences that come with them are based on a case-for-case. That’s what these two are doing right now.”
