Georgia WR Nitro Tuggle arrested for reckless driving
Nov 16, 2024; Athens, Georgia, USA; Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Nitro Tuggle (2) runs after a catch against the Tennessee Volunteers during the second half at Sanford Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Dale Zanine-Imagn Images Georgia wide receiver Nitro Tuggle faces charges of reckless driving and speeding following his arrest on Thursday morning.
Athens-Clarke County Police booked the rising sophomore on the two misdemeanor charges just before 2 a.m. ET and released him on a $20 cash bond an hour later, according to online records.
Tuggle caught three passes for 34 yards in two games for the Bulldogs as a 2024 freshman. He initially announced plans to enter the transfer portal in December before electing to stay at Georgia.
The school has not yet released a statement on Tuggle's arrest. It's the latest incident for a program that has seen more than two dozen arrests or citations for speeding, reckless driving or racing since a fatal crash in January 2023 that killed offensive lineman Devin Willock and recruiting staffer Chandler LeCroy.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Tuggle was ranked as a four-star recruit in the Class of 2024 out of Northwood High School in Nappanee, Ind.
