In yet another driving-related incident, the Georgia Bulldogs' football program has been hit with a blow as cornerback Daniel Harris was arrested and charged with reckless driving. The incident occurred on Thursday night when Harris was caught speeding at a staggering 106 miles per hour on a wet road, which is 41 mph over the speed limit, according to an Athens-Clarke County Police Department incident report.

The No. 1 Bulldogs are scheduled to play against Kentucky on Saturday, and ESPN has reached out to Georgia officials for comment on Harris' arrest and whether he was part of the team trip. It has been reported that Harris, a sophomore who appeared in the first two games this season, was driving on Georgia 10 outer at the College Station Road entrance ramp around 8 p.m. on Thursday.

Police noted that Harris's 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee overtook two other vehicles during the rainstorm. The arresting officer used a speed monitoring device known as DragonEye Lidar, which confirmed Harris's speed at 106 mph, as stated in the incident report. Shortly after being pulled over, Harris was booked into the Clarke County Jail at 10:40 p.m. but was later released at 11:49 p.m. on a $50 bond.

The incident report also revealed several additional violations committed by Harris. His vehicle had an expired temporary tag, which was due on August 4, 2024, and his vehicle registration had expired on March 8, 2024. Furthermore, he was unable to provide proof of insurance and his windows or windshield were affixed with materials that impaired visibility. Harris was also charged with driving without wearing a seatbelt.

This arrest follows running back Trevor Etienne's suspension for the opening game against Clemson. Etienne had previously been arrested for DUI in March, but the charge was later dropped in a plea agreement. Instead, he pleaded no contest to reckless driving and guilty to other charges, including underage possession of alcohol, failure to maintain lane, and a window-tint violation.

Georgia's football program has been marred by a series of driving-related incidents over the past year. One tragic incident in January 2023 resulted in the loss of recruiting staff member Chandler LeCroy and player Devin Willock, who were killed in a high-speed car race involving star defensive lineman Jalen Carter. Since then, the program has witnessed at least 20 arrests or citations related to driving violations, including cases of DUI, speeding, and reckless driving.

Coach Kirby Smart has acknowledged the persistent issue and has implemented measures to address it. These include revoking players' NIL money and mandating driving classes. Guest speakers have also been brought in to educate the team on the importance of road safety. Despite these efforts, the program continues to face challenges, raising concerns about the safety of players and the surrounding community.

As the Bulldogs prepare to face Kentucky, this recent incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle to curb driving-related problems within the Georgia Bulldogs' football program.
