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

GEORGIA LINEMAN KICKED OFF TEAM AFTER ARREST FOLLOWING 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 he was 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 charges.
The other felonies against Daniels were two counts of cruelty to children because his two younger siblings were in his vehicle at the time, officials said. The misdemeanor charges included reckless driving and speeding.

He reportedly reached speeds of 100 mph in a 25-mph zone in Commerce and 150 mph when the chase continued on Interstate 85.
Walker and Glover’s status for Georgia in the playoffs 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.
