Two University of Georgia football players were arrested for reckless driving – further damaging the reputation of the prestigious program.

On Thursday morning, it was announced that offensive lineman Bo Hughley was involved in a car accident in which he failed to maintain his lane and drove recklessly.

In another incident, linebacker Smael Mondon was also charged with reckless driving and racing.

This came one day after an update was released on a drunken driving case involving running back Trevor Etienne.

Etienne’s case, which involved charges of driving under the influence and driving under 21, was dismissed – while the running back pleaded guilty and no contest to charges of reckless driving related to an incident in March.

This incident occurred shortly after Etienne announced his transfer from Florida to Georgia after two seasons.

Coach Kirby Smart said at the time: “I want to start by repeating what I said last week about the kid: He’s a great kid from a great family, and he’s done a great job since he’s been here.”

“As we all know, young people don’t always make good decisions. He’s embarrassed, he’s upset, it’s a teaching moment and I hope he learns from it. He will be subject to both internal and university disciplinary action.”

THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY. MORE TO COME.
