CFB Notebook: Georgia DB Bishop arrested on felony charges
May 26, 2018
Georgia freshman defensive back Detravion "Tray" Bishop was arrested earlier this week on felony eavesdropping/surveillance charges.
The alleged incident occurred in November, DawgNation.com reported Friday.
Bishop turned himself in Wednesday after an arrest warrant was issued. He was later released from jail on a $5,700 bond.
The arrest came after an investigation by University of Georgia police. In April, a woman filed a complaint that Bishop had recorded a sex act between them in November without her consent.
"The complainant wished to report that there was a student going around showing people a sex tape of her ... without her consent," the police report said. "... A subsequent investigation into this incident led us into determining that the crime of unlawful eavesdropping occurred on (Nov. 5). The investigation showed that Detravion Bishop had recorded (the alleged victim) inside his dorm room without her permission and without her knowledge."
Georgia coach Kirby Smart said, "We are investigating the matter and it's important that we gather all information relevant to the situation before we determine what policies may come into play. Then we can take appropriate action if necessary."
--Safety C.J. Harris was denied a roster spot as a walk-on at Auburn because of a pre-existing medical condition, according to a report.
Auburn Undercover reported that Auburn doctors refused to medically clear Harris because of the condition.
Earlier in the week, reports surfaced that the NCAA denied Harris because of cannabis oil, which he uses to treat epilepsy. However, Auburn Undercover reported that actually Auburn's doctors were concerned about Harris' epilepsy and safety issues related to the Georgia native's condition.
"I broke down," Harris told Georgia TV station WXGA recently when he found out he could not play for Auburn. "This is my dream. I saw everything lining up perfectly for me."
Harris has claimed that he has not had a seizure since January 2017 because of his use of cannabis oil.
---Michigan offered a scholarship to an eighth grader this week.
Tyler Martin won't graduate from high school until 2022, but his college plans may already be set.
Martin, a Cambridge, Mass., native, led Buckingham Browne & Nichols with more than 100 tackles at linebacker and also started every game at tight end. Even though he is in eighth grade, he plays on the team's varsity squad. Buckingham Browne & Nichols is a private K-12 school.
"He's a tremendous kid that happens to be a tremendous athlete," Browne & Nichols coach Mike Willey told USA Today. "He's worked exceptionally hard and put himself in a good position, that's why I think Michigan says, yeah, this is the kind of guy they want."
