Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett, who led the Bulldogs to their second straight national championship, was arrested early Sunday after police said he was intoxicated and banging on doors.
Bennett, 25, was charged with public intoxication and taken to the city detention center, Dallas police said.
Police said that around 6:10 a.m., officers responded to reports of a man banging on doors. The location given by police was a townhouse community near downtown Dallas.
Bennett told reporters last week that he would train for his professional career in Fort Worth, Texas, which is about 30 miles (48 kilometers) west of Dallas.
It was unclear if he had been released from the detention center. An attempt by The Associated Press to reach someone at the detention center was unsuccessful.
Earlier this month, Bennett threw two touchdown passes and ran for two scores in the first half as No. 1 Georgia demolished No. 3 TCU 65-7 to win the national playoff championship in college football
Bennett walked on at Georgia nearly six years ago at the start of his rise to college football’s most dominant program.
The University of Georgia athletics department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
