Two more Georgia football players have been arrested for driving-related offenses.
Linebackers Chris Cole and Darren Ikinnagbon were booked Wednesday night within a half hour of each other on misdemeanor charges — Cole for speeding and reckless driving, according to On3, and Ikinnagbon for speeding, reckless driving and following too closely.

The school said in a statement that it was aware of the charges and was “actively gathering additional information.”
Their arrests continue a trend that is not seeming to slow down in recent years for Georgia players. Over a dozen players have been arrested for driving offenses in the past three years since the death of offensive lineman Devin Willock.

Willock and team staffer Chandler LeCroy were killed in a car crash on Jan. 15, 2023, following the Bulldogs’ national title parade. Police said that LeCroy was driving an SUV that was racing another SUV driven by current Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter.

Carter pleaded no contest to charges of reckless driving for his role in the incident.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart has said his program has implemented efforts to curb the driving issues that have plagued it. In November, Nyier Daniels was dismissed from the team after he was charged with felonies for a police chase. Daniels and his mother were both arrested after he passed an officer who had pulled over his mother while going more than 100 mph in a 25 mph zone. Daniels then allegedly reached 150 mph with his younger siblings in the car while he was evading police.
Cole was fourth on the team with 59 tackles in 2025 while Ikinnagbon had two tackles.
