Georgia football player Kenny McIntosh was arrested on Sunday morning on two misdemeanor charges: Reckless driving and not wearing a seatbelt.

On early Sunday morning, Georgia football player Kenny McIntosh was arrested on a pair of misdemeanor charges, one for reckless driving and one for not wearing a seatbelt.

The Dawgs’ senior running back was involved in a traffic accident early Sunday morning in Athens. Mike Griffith of DawgNation reports the accident occurred at 4:30 a.m. ET. While no one was injured in the car crash, former Georgia wide receiver and NFL Draft prospect George Pickens was in the vehicle. They were reportedly returning home from a pre-draft celebration downtown.

McIntosh was booked at 5:45 a.m. ET and was released a little over an hour later on $2,000 bond.

Coming off a national championship season at Georgia, McIntosh is expected to be the starting running back for Kirby Smart’s football team. The Dawgs will have to offset losing James Cook and Zamir White to the 2022 NFL Draft as well. Along with Kendall Milton and Daijun Edwards, Georgia should be in great shape in the backfield this season, even if McIntosh is suspended for a game.
