Details surrounding Thomas’ arrest weren’t immediately known.
“We are aware of a reported incident involving conduct by one of our student-athletes,” the UGA Athletic Association said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “While we are limited in what we can say about the incident, the report is disappointing and not reflective of the high standards we have for our student-athletes on and off the field. In addition to following internal Athletic Association policies, we will be working closely with our administration to ensure we cooperate fully with all law enforcement and campus protocols.”
Thomas, who is from Eufaula, Alabama, was one of the top wide receiver transfers in the portal. He had recently transferred from Mississippi State with former Missouri star Dominic Lovett to Georgia in late December.

Thomas was expected to fill in the hole left by a transferring Adonai Mitchell, who announced Saturday he was leaving for Texas.
