Bennett, who was described as smelling of alcohol at the time, reportedly told officers that he was unable to contract his friend who lived at the location where he was found before being taken into custody.

Bennett led Georgia to a 65-7 win against TCU at SoFi Stadium on January 9, 364 days after leading the Bulldogs to their first national title since 1980. The redshirt senior threw for 304 yards and four touchdowns on 18 of 25 passing, as well as recording 39 yards and two touchdowns on three rushing attempts.

Bennett scored Georgia's first touchdown on a 21-yard run that capped off a five-play, 57-yard drive during the Bulldogs' first possession of the game. The former walk-on initially etched his legacy by defeating Alabama in the College Football Playoff Final on January 10, 2022, throwing for 224 yards and two touchdowns on 17 of 26 passing.

Bennett is current a prospect for the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft and was predicted to be a third-round selection, according to ESPN NFL Draft Analyst Mel Kiper.
