Two Georgia football players were arrested on reckless driving charges this week, according to police records.
Star senior linebacker Smael Mondon Jr. was arrested late Wednesday night by Athens-Clarke County police on misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and racing on highway/streets. He was shortly after released on bond early Thursday morning.
Redshirt freshman offensive lineman Bo Hughley was arrested Tuesday evening by the University of Georgia police on misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and failure to maintain lane/improper driving on the road. He was released on bond Tuesday night.
The Georgia athletic department declined to comment Thursday but expects to address the incidents at SEC media days next week in Dallas.
The two arrests this week add to a string of reckless driving and other traffic-related incidents within the Georgia football program, including a car crash that killed player Devin Willock and team staffer Chandler LeCroy in January 2023. In the months after the crash, receivers De’Nylon Morrissette and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint were also arrested on driving charges.
