Former LSU and Georgia tight end Arik Gilbert was arrested early Tuesday morning on a felony burglary charge in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Gilbert has had a tumultuous life and college career since he showed flashes of excellence in his freshman season at LSU. Gilbert had 35 catches for 365 yards and two scores in eight games in 2020 for the Tigers before transferring to Georgia ahead of the 2021 season.
The former five-star recruit sat out the 2021 season because of personal issues and played in just three games in 2022 for the national champions. The Georgia native was the No. 1 tight end in the class of 2020 and the No. 9 prospect overall out of high school."He's been working to overcome them. We have a great group of people here trying to help him and then obviously last night happened.
Since Nebraska is Gilbert’s third school, he needs approval from the NCAA to play for the Cornhuskers. In the NCAA’s eyes, Gilbert’s move from LSU to Georgia counts as his one-time transfer and he must get a waiver to play right away after his second school switch. That waiver, however, is now trivial given Gilbert's arrest.
