News about Mark Richt

Jarvis Jones, a former Georgia Bulldog and Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker, was arrested for speeding and reckless driving ahead of his team's season opener against Tennessee-Martin, according to investigators. Jones' detention on Friday night was the second of a series of driving probes involving the two-time national champions, who have been dealing with an increase in such incidents since an explosive lineman Devin Willock and recruiting staffer Chandler LeCroy were killed in a high-speed accident on Jan. 15, just hours after a commemorative parade in Athens, Georgia. Jones, who is 33 years old, is now a Bulldogs assistant coach. He appeared for Georgia from 2010 to 2012 under former head coach Mark Richt.
