Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Daniel Harris was arrested for reckless driving on Thursday, becoming the latest player to come into conflict with police.
Harris was accused of driving 105 mph. He was stopped by Athens-Clarke County police and charged with five misdemeanors, according to online records. He was released late Thursday on a total of $50 bail.

He was also charged with other offenses, including not having proof of insurance, driving an unregistered vehicle, not wearing a seatbelt and illegally tinting windows.
Harris’ arrest came less than 48 hours before Georgia’s game against Kentucky.
He played in six games as a freshman, serving as a backup in the Bulldogs’ secondary and on special teams at times. He has four tackles in the first two games this season.
Georgia State’s football program has had several players charged with driving violations since the 2022-23 season, when they won the national championship.

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart acknowledged that he struggles to educate his players on safe driving, emphasizing the importance of the issue after a crash that killed a player and a recruiting staffer after the team celebrated a national title in January 2023.
Smart has not revealed what specific punishment his players will receive. History suggests Harris will not play against the Wildcats. Running back Trevor Etienne did not play after an offseason arrest following a win in the season opener.
“We cannot condone the incidents that occurred off the field,” Smart said at the SEC Media Days this summer. “It is very unfortunate. ‘Disappointing’ is probably the best word.”
