Legal issues surrounding the Georgia football program continue to mount, with two freshman players being arrested for shoplifting weeks before the Bulldogs’ College Football Playoff appearance.
Star running back Bo Walker, who ran for his first three career touchdowns in Georgia’s 35-3 win over Charlotte last month, and offensive lineman Dontrell Glover were arrested in Athens, Ga., on Friday and charged with misdemeanor shoplifting, online records showed.

A spokesman for the university told ESPN, “We were informed of the allegations and are currently gathering additional information.
“This is a pending legal matter and we will have no further comment at this time.”
Walker finished the 2025 regular season with 22 carries for 100 rushing yards and three touchdowns in six games. Glover, a Georgia native, appeared in 13 games and earned All-SEC freshman team honors.

GEORGIA LINEMAN LEFT THE TEAM AFTER ARREST FOLLOWING HIGH-SPEED POLICE CHASE
Walker and Glover’s arrests come less than a month after Georgia offensive lineman Nyier Daniels was kicked off the team after he was linked to multiple charges following his arrest related to a high-speed police chase.
He was arrested last month and booked into the Jackson County Jail, where he was charged with three felonies, including fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, and 10 misdemeanor counts.
The other crimes against Daniels were two counts of cruelty to children because his two younger siblings were in his vehicle at the time, officials said. The misdemeanor charges included reckless driving and speeding.

He reportedly reached speeds of 100 mph in a 25 mph zone in Commerce and 150 mph as the chase continued on Interstate 85.
Walker and Glover’s status for Georgia in the playoffs was not immediately known. The Bulldogs will face the winner of the first round between Ole Miss and Tulane in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day.
