Overview

  • Chace Calicut, a four-star safety who committed to Georgia on June 26, was arrested in Houston and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after a July 6 road rage incident.
  • Court documents allege Calicut drove erratically to trap another teen’s vehicle before his 17-year-old passenger, Isaiah Brice Phillip, pointed a handgun and fired several shots.
  • Phillip, who was charged alongside Calicut, was fatally shot days later in an unrelated pool party shooting in Houston.
  • This is the second off-field legal issue for a Georgia football commit this month, following defensive line prospect Seven Cloud’s domestic battery charge.
  • The Bulldogs program, which set a record for in-state commitments in June, has remained silent on the unfolding legal fallout.
