Georgia wide receiver Rara Thomas was arrested early Monday on charges of battery-family violence and false imprisonment, according to Athens-Clarke County jail records.

Thomas, who transferred to Georgia from Mississippi State after the 2022 season, was being held without bond as of 9 a.m. Monday after being booked at 4:04 a.m. The false imprisonment charge is a felony.

Thomas, whose given name is Rodarius, played his high school football in Alabama at Eufaula High. He had a breakout season as a sophomore at Mississippi State in 2022, catching 44 passes for 626 yards and seven touchdowns.

Thomas was considered a key offseason addition for the two-time national champion Bulldogs, who also added Missouri wide receiver Dominic Lovett and Texas A&M defensive back Smoke Bouie through the transfer portal. Starting wide receiver AD Mitchell left via the portal for Texas.

According to Georgia Athletic Association policy, student-athletes arrested on felony charges are automatically suspended indefinitely from team activities pending a review by the school’s Comprehensive Action Plan Committee, which is made up a key athletic department staff.
