Georgia Harvey-Clemons Suspended First Three Games Next Season

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Georgia safety Josh Harvey-Clemons will be suspended for the first three games of next season as a continuation of the suspension that forced him to miss the Gator Bowl on Jan. 1.

The Bulldogs announced before Christmas that Harvey-Clemons would not accompany the team to Jacksonville for the bowl due to an undisclosed “violation of team regulations.” A few days later, Harvey-Clemons’ grandfather and legal guardian, Woodrow Clemons, told the AJC his grandson’s suspension was academically related and would not carry over to next season.

Since then, however, several persons familiar with the situation have told the AJC that Harvey-Clemons had in fact violated UGA’s marijuana-use policy for a second time and therefore had been issued a four-game suspension, as per the athletic association’s student-athlete disciplinary guidelines. Those guidelines call for the offending student-athlete to be suspended for “not less than 30 percent of the season” for a second offense of the marijuana-use policy. In football, that comes to four games, one of which Harvey-Clemons has already served.
