Georgia Bulldogs football facing another player arrest ahead of 2025 season

The Georgia Bulldogs are facing yet another player arrest. 

Dawgs247's Jordan Hill reports that offensive lineman Jahzare Jackson was arrested this week on marijuana charges.

Jackson was booked Wednesday, July 16 at 11:50 p.m. and released at 4:17 a.m. the following morning.

"Jackson was charged with felony possession of marijuana more than 1 oz, along with misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana less than 1 oz., possession and use of drug-related objects, and physically holding or supporting, with any part of his or her body, a wireless device while operating a motor vehicle," Hill said.

"He was released from jail on bonds totaling $5,030."

Jackson saw action in all 14 games for the Bulldogs last fall, primarily contributing on special teams and as a backup offensive lineman. 

In addition to Jackson, 2026 Georgia commit Seven Cloud was arrested on domestic charges this week. 

Georgia Football is Trying Their Best to Educate Players

This is clearly an ongoing issue with Georgia's football program, however, head coach Kirby Smart has tried everything he can to keep the number of incidents down through education, including bringing in local law enforcement to speak to his team, special driving courses, and discussing the consequences of fining players by withholding NIL payments through Georgia’s Classic City Collective.

Additionally, players have been made aware of possible suspension and dismissal from the team.

But while Smart has been doing his best, he is far from ignorant of the fact that they are still kids at the end of the day. 

"We'll continue to look at these on a case-by-case basis," Smart said back in March. "There's things that surround each one of these outside of just the immediate reaction is, 'How in the world can this happen again?' And I get that, but each one is a case-by-case basis. You have to look at as these are your children. That's the way I look at it. I look (at) what I would do with my children and there's 18 to 19 to 20 year olds. They make mistakes. The consequences that come with those are based on a case-by-case basis."
