Kirby Smart and Georgia quick to take action following WR Nitro Tuggle and OL Marques Easley vehicle incidents

Here are the details of what happened in Easley's car accident according to an incident report obtained by Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald: 

According to information provided to the Banner-Herald by the Georgia State Patrol, a Dodge Challenger Monday night was traveling west on Redwood Lane when it lost control, leaving the roadway and striking a power distribution box with its front.

The Dodge rotated clockwise and struck the passenger side of a Hyundai Elantra with its passenger’s side and a Mercedes Benz CLA with its driver’s side.

After striking the Hundai, it traveled in front of 1313 Redwood Lane.

Weirzer noted Georgia State Patrol did not identify Easley at the time, but said it was a Georgia football player. 

Easley, a former four-star recruit, joined the team in January of 2024 and appeared in two games last fall. 

As for Tuggle, he was arrested early Thursday morning for reckless driving and speeding beyond the maximum limits, according to the Athens Clarke County arrest records.

He was released on a $26.00 bond

Tuggle, a former four-star recruit out of NorthWood High School in Indiana, appeared in seven games for Georgia in 2024. He hauled in three passes for 34 yards.

Tuggle is expected to take on a larger role in 2025, though it's unclear how things will go for him now that he will miss a good chunk of spring ball. 

Both Tuggle and Marques Easley have been suspended indefinitely from all team activities, and there have been no further comments from the university or Coach Smart at this time. 

Georgia, unfortunately, is known across the football world for having a bad reputation when it comes to reckless driving, and these two incidents only make things look worse for the program and its overall culture moving forward.
