Georgia football is gearing up for their national title defense in 2022. They got some good news on one player who will be a part of that title defense: senior running back Kenny McIntosh. McIntosh, who was facing a reckless driving charge after an April crash, appears to have moved past the legal troubles. Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald has the details.

Georgia running back Kenny McIntosh’s reckless driving charge from an April crash was dismissed after he pleaded guilty instead to speeding and a seat belt violation, according to Athens-Clarke County Solicitor General C.R.Chisholm.

Weiszer reports that Kenny McIntosh's reckless driving charge was dismissed. The Georgia football halfback instead pleaded guilty to a speeding and seat belt violation.

The charges stemmed from an offseason incident, which saw McIntosh's Dodge Challenger collide with a Kia Sol at an Athens intersection in the early morning hours of April 24. He was traveling at 60 MPH in a 40 MPH zone.
