Georgia commit arrested on troubling charges

A high school football player who recently committed to Georgia is facing troubling charges after he was arrested in an alleged violent driving incident earlier this month.

Chace Calicut, a four-star safety recruit from North Shore Senior High School in Houston, Texas, is one of two teenagers who were charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon following an incident on July 7.

According to court documents that were obtained by FOX26 Houston, Calicut and fellow 17-year-old Isaiah Brice Phillip were each charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after Phillip allegedly fired a gun from a car that was being driven by Calicut.

A 17-year-old who was driving in a different vehicle told police that Calicut stalked him on the road after previously threatening him for months. You can read the full details:

"According to court documents, a 17-year-old boy was driving with a 17-year-old girl in his passenger seat when he saw Calicut’s vehicle pull up behind him.

"The teen alleged that Calicut drove around in front of him and then hit his brakes, forcing the teen to also brake to avoid crashing into Calicut’s car.

"The teen drove around Calicut’s car and tried to get away, but Calicut pulled up next to him again, court documents allege. Calicut was allegedly driving erratically in front of and alongside the teen, and the teen saw Phillip in Calicut’s car with a handgun pointed toward him.

"The teen was able to make a U-turn and drive away from Calicut’s car, but then he heard several gunshots, according to court documents. A friend driving behind the teen reported that he saw Phillip shooting out of the window as they drove away, according to court documents."

Calicut, a class of 2026 recruit, committed to Georgia last month after also receiving offers from Michigan, Texas and other programs.

It is unclear if Calicut will ever play at Georgia, but his arrest is a continuation of what has become a troubling pattern for Kirby Smart's program. Multiple current Bulldogs players and commits have now been arrested in recent months.
