Isaiah Crowell on the wrong end of Richt’s boot

Well, that certainly didn’t take long.

Very early this morning, Georgia running back Isaiah Crowell was arrested on three charges, including two involving a weapon that were labeled as felonies. Less than 14 hours after being booked into jail, he’s now ex-Georgia running back Isaiah Crowell.

In a statement, head coach Mark Richt announced that the sophomore back has been dismissed from the UGA football program. Also in his statement? No specific mention of Crowell.

“We have a dedicated and committed group of men who are working hard to prepare for the coming season,” said Richt in a statement. “Our total focus will be directed toward the team and this effort.”

The dismissal ends an up-and-down 16 months for Crowell in Athens since signing with UGA as a five-star recruit last February, highlighted by a team-leading 850 yards rushing as a true freshman and lowlighted by two in-season suspensions as well as today’s final straw for Richt and the program.
