The Georgia Bulldogs enjoyed an eventful Wednesday evening leading up to their Week 11 SEC road clash with Ole Miss, as they received two encouraging developments. The day began with the announcement that 2025 four-star wide receiver CJ Wiley committed to Georgia, boosting their future offensive prospects. But shortly after, another pivotal update arrived regarding the legal situation surrounding their current standout wide receiver, Colbie Young.
Young, who was arrested on October 8 on charges of battery and assault following an argument with his ex-girlfriend, may see his case dismissed soon. The alleged victim has now formally requested that the Athens-Clarke County authorities drop all charges, calling the initial report “slanted” and seeking to retract statements suggesting Young had caused her harm. In an affidavit shared by Young’s attorney, Kim Stephens, the woman clarified, “Colbie did not place his hands on me in any way during the conversation and argument that was inappropriate or unwanted. He did not hit me. He did not push me. He did not cause any bruising or marks on me. He did not injure me in any way.”
A senior transfer from Miami, Young has been an essential asset for the Bulldogs this season, tallying 11 catches for 149 yards and two touchdowns over five games. Despite being suspended indefinitely since his arrest, this recent development offers hope for his potential reinstatement.
Although Young’s case has not yet been officially dismissed, and his return for Saturday’s game against Ole Miss remains uncertain, this promising update hints that he could rejoin the Bulldogs in time for a possible playoff run.
