Georgia linebackers Chris Cole and Darren Ikinnagbon were arrested Wednesday on driving-related charges.

Cole was booked at 9:59 p.m. ET at the Athens-Clarke County jail on misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and speeding-maximum limits. He was released at 10:39 p.m. on bonds totaling $26.

Cole had a team-high 4.5 sacks last season and is a projected starter in 2026.

Ikinnagbon, a rising sophomore who played five games as a true freshman in 2025, was booked less than 30 minutes later at 10:27 p.m. on misdemeanor charges of reckless driving, following too closely and speeding-maximum limits. He was released at 11:08 p.m. on bonds totaling $39.

“We are aware of the charges and are actively gathering additional information. As this is an ongoing legal matter, we will not be providing further comment at this time,” a Georgia sports information representative said in a statement.

This continues what has been a years-long issue of reckless driving troubles within the Georgia football program.

Georgia football player Devin Willock and recruiting staff member Chandler LeCroy were killed in a high-speed crash in January 2023, and three members of the team were arrested on driving charges in 2025.
