Coach Smart Issues Statement Regarding Players' Arrests

Twitter

Coach Kirby Smart says he’s disappointed after the arrests of two Georgia football players. The remarks came as the Bulldogs held their fourth practice of the spring campaign Tuesday afternoon.

Smart began the practice with an opening statement.

"I’ll open up with a comment first about Tyrique Stevenson and Tyler Simmons and then talk about practice a little bit. Obviously very disappointed. There’s a standard of behavior that’s expected of athletes at the University of Georgia and that’s not indicative of the behavior we want at the University of Georgia. It’s very obvious that those guys made poor choices and decisions and they will be disciplined. They will be disciplined internally and to be honest with you, both of them were cited with disorderly conduct which I think you guys know. They’ve got to find a way to make better decisions especially as young men representing this university. Those things will be handled, and they’ll be handled the right way.”

Smart said the players would be disciplined internally.
