ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity said Monday that sophomore inside inebackers Natrez Patrick and Roquan Smith — who were under investigation for alleged marijuana use in a dorm room — will not be suspended.
Patrick is the team’s leading tackler, with Smith the No. 2 tackler.
“After receiving an incident report last week, we determined that neither Roquan Smith nor Natrez Patrick had violated any Athletic Association rules that would require suspension,” McGarity said in a statement. “This included drug testing, which was negative for both student-athletes.”
Police were called to Patrick’s dorm room last week when a resident assistant at the dormitory smelled the odor of marijuana.
