Uninjured, thankfully. Practiced yesterday after the 2 car accident.

quote:

Tight end Arik Gilbert was involved in a two-car automobile accident on campus Monday morning, multiple sources confirm to UGASports.

Those same sources state that Gilbert is okay, although his white Mercedes was totaled.

The accident occurred on the corner of Lumpkin and Baxter Street. UGA police had no immediate comment.

Gilbert, who sat out last year dealing with personal issues, returned to the program last January and took part in spring drills.

He caught a pair of touchdowns in the G-Day game last April.

Glad the young man isn’t hurt.

I’m intrigued to see what UGA does on offense with him and Bowers together. Plus the third TE (Washington?).

That kid cannot catch a break - glad he's okay though.

I know a lot of LSU fans don't agree with this, but I wish the young man the best. He's a tremendous talent.

ETA: Like the guy above me said, if Gilbert is anywhere close to his full potential, having him and Bowers is insane

He was probably talking to the person in the passenger seat that wasn't there.

No way that kid should have a license.

Pretty sure a lot is self inflicted.

Doesn't take much for an insurance company to say a car is totaled these days.

Was it a NIL Mercedes?

Glad he’s ok.

A 1996 Toyota Tercel could have coaxed him into leaving Red Stick

Not the way you want to start right before the season starts for a person like Gilbert who is already mentally soft.

How can anyone go fast enough, on campus, to total a car?

I saw the car and it’s not even that bad. Still had to be going at least 40.

Speed limit around LSU is like 10 MPH. And that was too much, so they've limited the places you can drive.
