University of Georgia head football coach Kirby Smart has dismissed offensive lineman Nyier Daniels after the redshirt freshman was arrested while allegedly fleeing police during a chase in Commerce, Georgia on Sunday, November 23.

Daniels, 19, faces more than a dozen criminal charges, including two felony counts of second-degree cruelty to children and two felony counts of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, according to a police incident report obtained by Us Weekly on Tuesday, November 25.

Daniels’ two younger siblings were in the car at the time of the chase, according to the report.

“[I] have not had a chance to talk to him or his family, but obviously he will no longer be with us,” Smart, 49, told reporters during a press conference on Monday, November 24.
