Georgia freshman cornerback Tyrique Stevenson arrested

Georgia freshman cornerback Tyrique Stevenson was arrested early Sunday morning on charges of disorderly conduct, according to the Athens-Clarke County jail booking recap.

The Athens Clark County police department arrested Stevenson at 2:42 a.m. Sunday morning on the misdemeanor charge and he was released at 3:26 a.m. after posting a $1,000 bond.

Stevenson is a 5-star recruit from Homestead, Fla., who attended Miami Southridge High School before enrolling in January at Georgia.

Stevenson is the third Georgia football player who has been arrested in the last month.
