Rara Thomas has been dismissed from Georgia's football team following his arrest on July 26.
Head coach Kirby Smart told reporters on Thursday he met with Thomas earlier this week to inform him of the decision.
"I met with Rara on Tuesday and had a chance to talk to him face to face, which was important, but I informed him that he could no longer be a part of this team, and he understood that," Smart said.
Thomas was arrested by Athens-Clarke County police and put in jail last week.
