Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said Tuesday that running back Trevor Etienne is facing disciplinary action from the university and the athletic department following his DUI arrest this past weekend, per ESPN's Chris Low.
Georgia's athletic department policy would require Etienne to miss 10 percent of the Bulldogs' upcoming season, which equates to at least one game out of the team's 12-game schedule, if he's found guilty of DUI. The team's season opener is set for Aug. 31 in Atlanta against Clemson.
Smart, who called Etienne a "great kid, great person" at the start of his weekly news conference, said the legal process has to run its course before disciplinary actions are determined.
