Young was booked at 4:18 A.M. and as of this writing is still in jail. His bond is set at $2,500. Georgia has not yet commented on the status of Young. Georgia coach Kirby Smart is next set to speak to reporters on Tuesday evening.

Young transferred into Georgia from Miami this offseason. Through 5 games, Young has 11 receptions for 149 yards and 2 touchdowns. He led Georgia in receiving yards this past Saturday against Auburn, catching 3 passes for 51 yards.

“He continues to grow and get better and we’re going to need him in our offense,” Smart said of Young in September. “We need him to be able to play even more snaps and be in the best shape of his life to play enough snaps.”

This is the seventh Georgia player to be arrested since March of 2024. Trevor Etienne, Smael Mondon, Sacovie White, Bo Hughley and Daniel Harris were all arrested on driving-related charges. Etienne and Harris both missed one game following their arrests.
