Overview

• Four-star North Shore safety Chace Calicut was arrested July 22 and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly using his vehicle to force another car off the road during a July 6 chase in Houston.
• Court documents show his passenger, Isaiah Brice Phillip, fired shots toward a separate vehicle during the incident and faced the same assault charges despite not being accused of driving.
• Days after the vehicle chase, Phillip was killed in an unrelated pool-party shooting in northeast Harris County that left two other teens wounded.
• The University of Georgia has not issued a public statement on Calicut’s arrest or Phillip’s death, marking a second recruit legal scandal this month after defensive lineman Seven Cloud faced domestic battery charges.
• Head coach Kirby Smart’s prior warnings about off-field behavior have resurfaced as successive incidents drive calls for tighter oversight and recruitment vetting.
