NCAAF News: Georgia WR Colbie Young facing battery charge

Georgia wideout Colbie Young was jailed Tuesday morning on misdemeanor charges of battery and assault of an unborn child.

The Binghamton, N.Y., native, who transferred to the Bulldogs in December following two seasons at Miami, was booked into the Athens-Clarke County Jail at 4:18 a.m. ET on a bond of $2,500, according to records obtained by ESPN.

A Georgia athletic department spokesman told ESPN that “this is a pending legal matter” and “we will have no further comment at this time.”

According to a police incident report, a 20-year-old woman, who identified herself as Young’s former girlfriend, told authorities that she visited his apartment around midnight to discuss their relationship.

The argument allegedly became heated and the woman claimed that Young got physical when she tried to leave. “She said that he picked her up and began to squeeze her torso and abdomen very hard. She said she felt like (Young) was trying to harm her,” read the police report.

Police observed bruising and discoloration on the woman’s chest and abdomen and transported her to an Athens hospital for treatment.

Young’s attorney, Kim Stephens, provided a statement to ESPN.

“Colbie Young was arrested last night after he asked his ex-girlfriend to leave his apartment,” Stephens said. “He did not make physical contact with her in any way that could ever be considered a crime. I expect Mr. Young to be fully exonerated once our investigation is complete and the truth revealed.”

Young has 11 catches for 149 yards and two touchdowns through five games for the No. 5 Bulldogs (4-1, 2-1 SEC). He caught 79 passes for 939 yards and 10 TDs in 22 games with the Hurricanes from 2022-23.
