Two Georgia football players were arrested this week on separate reckless driving charges. 

Senior linebacker Smael Mondon was arrested Wednesday night by Athens-Clarke County police for racing and reckless driving. He was released this morning on bonds totaling $26.

Redshirt freshman offensive lineman Bo Hughley was arrested on Tuesday night by University of Georgia police and charged with failure to maintain proper lane and reckless driving. He was released less than two hours later on bonds totaling $26.

UGA Insider Radi Nabulsi was the first to report both arrests on Thursday morning.

Georgia athletic officials have yet to comment on the matter. 

Georgia RB Trevor Etienne Was Arrested Back in March

These two arrests come just five months after transfer running back Trevor Etienne was arrested on a DUI charge in March. 

According to the official police report, Etienne was pulled over outside the Retreat on Milledge apartments complex early Sunday morning for speeding and crossing over a double yellow median on Will Hunter Road.

He was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, reckless driving, failure to maintain lane/improper driving on road, and affixing materials that reduce the visibility of windows/windshield. 

Here's what Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said following Etienne's arrest: 

"I’ve really enjoyed getting to know him. I think he’s a great kid, great person. We’ve gotten to know his family. He enjoys being coached. He’s a bright kid and we push him hard out there. He really loves the competition, but as we also know, sometimes kids don’t make the best decisions. The older you get sometimes the tougher the consequences are for your mistakes. He’s not going to let this mistake define him. He’s embarrassed, upset and knows he made a mistake. It’s a teaching moment, and we hope he gets better from it.

"…Disappointed in his decision-making, but he is a good kid."
