Georgia has suspended its leading receiver, Colbie Young, indefinitely following his arrest earlier this week on two misdemeanor charges. Young, who led the No. 5 Bulldogs in receiving during their recent game against Auburn, faces charges of assault on an unborn child and battery in an incident involving a woman who identified herself as an ex-girlfriend.
Head coach Kirby Smart announced the suspension on Wednesday, stating that Young will remain sidelined until the legal matter is resolved. “We can’t comment further on the details, but we had a productive meeting this morning,” Smart said. “It’s a difficult situation, and we’re focused on educating our players and ensuring they understand the seriousness of these matters.”

Despite the loss of Young, Georgia remains well-stocked with talent as they prepare to face Mississippi State, whose defense ranks 109th in the nation. Young’s absence is unlikely to be the deciding factor if Mississippi State pulls off an upset, but it does slightly reduce Georgia’s depth at the receiver position.
