According to reports, Georgia football has had up to 24 driving-related incidents since 2023

Georgia’s football program has enjoyed great success on the field for much of the past decade, winning two national titles while consistently competing in the highly competitive SEC.

But since winning its last national championship in January 2023, the program has developed significant off-field issues related to a culture of racing and reckless driving. As of Thursday afternoon, there had been 20 known incidents involving traffic-related violations by individuals associated with the Bulldogs program, including the first and most consequential crash that killed offensive lineman Devin Willock and recruiting analyst Chandler LeCroy a week after Georgia’s victory over TCU in the 2022-23 CFP National Championship.

That number has now risen to a total of 24 traffic accidents, according to a new report from Chip Towers. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution which was published on Friday.

According to Towers, freshman defensive back Demello Jones was charged Wednesday with racing with senior linebacker Smael Mondon. Previous reports said Mondon was the only one arrested in the incident.

In a separate report, Marc Weiszer from Athenian Banner Heraldreported early Friday morning that sophomore defensive back Joenel Aguero and redshirt freshman Justyn Rhett were arrested on Feb. 16 for speeding as the duo were traveling at 59 mph in a 40 mph zone and “weaving into traffic.” There was also another arrest that had not been previously reported involving senior defensive back David Daniel-Sisavanh. Daniel-Sisavanh was arrested on Feb. 24 and charged with reckless driving as his 2021 BMW 340-I was traveling southbound on the Interstate 75/85 connector in Atlanta and made several lane changes at a high rate of speed without using his turn signal. Daniel-Sisavanh admitted to the Georgia football team that he fled from a police officer during the chase before finally stopping, Weiszer said.

The Georgia football program’s constant traffic-related violations have continued ahead of SEC Media Day next week, and with less than two months until kickoff, Kirby Smart and his staff must find a way to contain the problems plaguing his program off the field.
