The severity or seriousness of the violation isn’t clear. However, Tuggle becomes the latest in a run of issues for the Georgia program, in regards to driving and off-field issues. Since January 2023, over 25 players have had run-ins with the law because of driving-related incidents.
Tuggle is entering his second year in the program. He’s a former four-star recruit that finished his freshman season with three catches for 34 yards and appeared in eight games for the Bulldogs. He announced in January his intent to enter the transfer portal but later removed his name and returned to UGA.
