Georgia is facing more reckless driving problems following the arrests of Cole and Ikinnagbon
- On Wednesday night, Georgia linebackers Chris Cole and Darren Ikinnagbon were arrested on misdemeanor charges of speeding and reckless driving by Athens-Clarke County Police.
- The problem dates back to a deadly January 2023 crash that killed offensive lineman Devin Willock and recruiting staffer Chandler LeCroy, with suspensions for Nitro Tuggle and Marques Easley and Nyier Daniels' dismissal in 2025.
- Player statistics and booking details underline the immediate factual record: Chris Cole was booked at 9:59 p.m. and released on $26 bail, while Darren Ikinnagbon was booked at 10:27 p.m. and released on $39 bail.
- The school noted ongoing review while the coach has lamented repeat incidents; Kirby Smart, Georgia head coach, expressed frustration last season as three players left following driving offense arrests.
- The arrests position Georgia's handling of player conduct back in the spotlight as The Associated Press reported the arrests, renewing scrutiny of 2025 disciplinary cases.
