Georgia Freshman DL London Seymour Arrested, Faces 11 Felony Counts of Property Damage
London Seymour, a freshman defensive lineman for the Georgia Bulldogs and the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Richard Seymour, was arrested on January 29 and is facing 11 second-degree felony counts of criminal damage to property, according to Athens-Clarke County jail records.
The 6-foot-4, 305-pound lineman was booked into the Athens-Clarke County jail at 9:44 p.m. and released just over an hour later at 10:57 p.m. Records show he posted bond, which included a $1,100 bond for the first charge and an additional $5,000 bond due at the time of arrest.
While the specifics of the incident have not been publicly disclosed, the charges stem from alleged damage at two residence halls on Georgia’s campus-Rooker Hall and Busbee Hall, per local reports. As of now, the university has not issued a statement regarding Seymour’s arrest or his standing with the football program.
Seymour saw limited action in his first season with the Bulldogs, appearing in Georgia’s dominant Week 1 win over Marshall. Though his on-field role was minimal, his presence on the roster carried weight. Not only is he the son of a Georgia legend-Richard Seymour, a cornerstone of the Bulldogs’ defense in the late 1990s and a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Patriots-but London also arrived in Athens with the hopes of carving out his own legacy.
A three-star recruit in the class of 2025, Seymour was ranked as the No. 123 defensive tackle in the nation. He played his high school ball at North Gwinnett High School in Suwanee, Georgia, and initially committed to Boston College before ultimately walking on at Georgia. He also held offers from schools like Colorado, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, and Marshall.
This incident now puts Seymour’s future with the program in question, and while the legal process plays out, it’s unclear how Georgia will proceed. For a player with deep ties to the program and a name that resonates with Bulldog fans, this is a situation that will be closely monitored in the weeks ahead.
