University of Georgia football players arrested earlier this year are scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in Athens-Clarke County court, according to the Macon Telegraph.

Safety Tray Matthews, receiver Uriah LeMay, defensive end James DeLoach and defensive lineman Jon Taylor were arrested in March on charges of theft by deception related to attempts to double cash scholarship checks, first electronically, then by redeeming them on paper.

LeMay requested a transfer earlier this year and Matthews was dismissed from the team today. He announced his departure via Twitter but did not specify a reason.

“I’m sorry UGA family. I swear to God I love yal (sic). I’m crying right now but I won’t forget. Love the dawgs. Auburn or Louisville will be my home,” he wrote.

The other two players, Taylor and DeLoach, remain on the team’s roster.
