Legal issues surrounding the Georgia football program continue to mount, with two freshmen players arrested for shoplifting just weeks before the Bulldogs’ College Football Playoff appearance.

Star running back Bo Walker, who scored his first three career touchdowns in Georgia’s 35-3 win over Charlotte last month, and offensive lineman Dentrell Glover were arrested Friday in Athens, Georgia, and charged with shoplifting, according to online records.

A university spokesperson told ESPN, “We have been informed of the accusations and are currently in the process of gathering additional information.

“This is a pending legal matter and we will have no further comment at this time.”

Walker finished the 2025 regular season with 22 carries for 100 rushing yards and three touchdowns in six games. Glover, a Georgia native, appeared in 13 games and earned All-SEC Freshman Team honors.

GEORGIA LINEMAN LAUNCHED THE TEAM AFTER HER ARREST FOLLOWING A HIGH-SPEED POLICE CHASE

Walker and Glover’s arrests come less than a month after Georgia offensive lineman Nyier Daniels was kicked off the team after being linked to multiple charges following his arrest related to a high-speed police chase.

He was arrested last month and booked into the Jackson County Jail, where he was charged with three felonies, including fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, and 10 misdemeanor offenses.

The other crimes against Daniels were two counts of child cruelty because his two younger siblings were in his vehicle at the time, officials said. Misdemeanor charges included reckless driving and speeding.

He reportedly reached speeds of 100 mph in a 25 mph zone in Commerce and 150 mph as the chase continued on Interstate 85.

Walker and Glover’s status for Georgia in the postseason was not immediately known. The Bulldogs will face the winner of the first-round game between Ole Miss and Tulane in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day.
