Yet another member of the Georgia football program has been arrested for an incident on the road.
Jarvis Jones, the team’s player connection coordinator, was arrested on Friday night on misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and speeding maximum limits, which typically means at least 20 mph more than the speed limit.He was on the sidelines on Saturday night when Georgia defeated UT Martin, 48-7, in its season opener.
The coach is a former All-American Bulldog who spent four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers and has been a member of Georgia’s staff since 2016 when he retired from the NFL. Georgia, which has won back-to-back national titles, has had a total of 14 players arrested for reckless driving or speeding since two members of the program were killed in a high-speed crash on Jan. 15.
Jones, who the school announced would be inducted into Georgia’s Circle of Honor, was the first coach or administrator to be arrested.Jones played for the Steelers for four years.“I’ll be the first to admit we haven’t solved that issue or problem,” Smart told reporters. “I don’t honestly know that anybody has. But certainly for us, it’s important to acknowledge it first. We’ve had a lot of intervention in terms of talking and visiting, and discipline measures have been implemented in terms of education. We’ll continue to do that.”Jones was an All-American at Georgia.
