UGA parts ways with OL signee after arrest.

Georgia has announced that football signee D’Antne Demery has been “released” from his letter-of-intent, after the offensive lineman’s Saturday night arrest on two misdemeanor battery charges.

The news comes just over an hour after Demery was released on bond from the Athens-Clarke County jail

Demery was charged with simple assault and criminal trespass after an incident with a woman in downtown Athens. Demery was alleged by the victim to have grabbed the woman by the back of the neck and pushed her against the wall, according to a synopsis provided to the spokesman for the Athens-Clarke County police department.

The statement also said that the victim, who is the mother of Demery’s child, also told police that the player “has been physically violent with her in the past.”

A four-star recruit out of Brunswick, Demery was one of six offensive linemen signed by the Bulldogs this year. He was due to join the team this summer, and was in Athens after attending G-Day on Saturday.

Demery’s next stop, assuming he takes one, would almost certainly not be another SEC school: The conference passed a rule last year prohibiting any school from accepting a player with a history of sexual or domestic violence.

That came after the Baylor situation last year, but was also inspired by the Jonathan Taylor situation: Taylor, a defensive lineman at Georgia in 2012, was accused in Athens of felony domestic assault, dismissed and, after spending a season at a junior college, was accepted at Alabama, despite the Athens charges still pending.

According to SEC bylaws, I was thinking they outlawed players with violent past
