Another Georgia player arrested on driving-related charge

Another Georgia player arrested on driving-related charge

Wide receiver Marcus Rosemy-Saintjack on Tuesday became the latest Georgia football player arrested on a serious driving-related charge this year.

According to Athens-Clarke County Jail records, Rosemy-Saintjack was arrested Tuesday afternoon on charges of reckless driving and speeding-maximum limits. He was released a short time later on bond.

Both charges against Rosemy-Saintjack are misdemeanors. However, his arrest continues a disturbing trend for the two-time national champions, who have had four players charged with similar crimes in or near Athens this year.

Former Bulldogs star Jalen Carter was charged in March with street racing and reckless driving for his actions in the early hours of Jan. 15, when Georgia staffer Chandler LeCroy crashed while racing with Carter. LeCroy and Bulldogs offensive lineman Devin Willock were killed in the wreck, which also injured two others and resulted in a lawsuit brought forth by Willock’s family.

Linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson was also charged with reckless driving and street racing in early January, about a week before the fatal crash. Receiver De’Nylon Morrissette was arrested on charges of DUI and two other offenses earlier this month.

All of the charges are misdemeanors. Carter and Dumas-Johnson have had their cases settled by entering pleas.

Rosemy-Saintjack, a senior, is a projected starter for the Bulldogs this season. He caught 29 passes for 337 yards and two touchdowns in 2022.
