Georgia football coach Kirby Smart on DUI, reckless driving arrest of RB Trevor Etienne
Kirby Smart spent much of last offseason addressing Georgia football player driving incidents. He did again Tuesday after Trevor Ettiene's arrest.

From the article:
Georgia football players were arrested or cited for speeding or reckless driving at least 14 times last year after the Jan. 15, 2023 fatal crash that killed offensive lineman Devin Willock and recruiting staffer Chandley LeCroy. Excessive speed and alcohol played a role in the crash, police said.
In addition, Georgia player coordinator Jarvis Jones, a former All-American linebacker, was suspended from the football program for a week last September after he was arrested going 86 miles per hour in a 40 mile per hour zone in a late night incident.
Jones in January had a reckless driving charge from that incident dismissed but plead guilty to speeding, completed a defensive driving class and paid a $340 fine in Athens Municipal Court.
Wide receiver DeNylon Morrisette is still facing an April court hearing in Oconee County for a May 2023 incident when he hit another vehicle from behind and was charged with DUI drugs and driving too fast for conditions.
He transferred after last season to play at Purdue. Georgia held Morrisette out of practices last preseason until school started.
When he was pulled over for going 81 in a 45 in February, 2023, police told him: “Y’all got to slow down. We’ve been getting all of y’all a lot.
Etienne, who played the last two seasons at Florida, could face a one game suspension under Georgia athletic policy for the DUI.
"In addition to our university discipline process, we’ve got all of the stuff we deal with inside house," Smart said. "He’ll be sus- (then Smart stopped himself)…with those same details he’ll be under the rules we have in-house as well as the university discipline. Disappointed in his decision-making, but he is a good kid.”
Defensive back Javon Bullard was suspended for a game in 2022 after a DUI incident.
Wide receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint served a one-game suspension last season after his arrest for reckless driving and multiple speeding incidents.
