Georgia football: De’Nylon Morrissette arrested this week

UGA football player De’Nylon Morrissette was arrested Monday on misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence of drugs, driving too fast for conditions, following too closely, and Class D restrictions, per reports.

Morrissette is a former four-star prospect from Stone Mountain, Georgia, who played in 11 games last season. He didn’t make much of an impact on offense, as he recorded just 34 yards receiving. However, entering his sophomore season, he was expected to see an increase in targets on a crowded UGA depth chart at wide receiver.

Morrissette suffered a hamstring and knee injury, per Kirby Smart, towards the end of the Bulldogs National Championship run. This explains his very limited offensive output, though he did make a number of plays on special teams. Morrissette made three catches in Georgia’s spring game, which suggested an increased role on offense. Given the Bulldogs impressive defense, Morrissette caught the eyes of Smart and the coaching staff.
