Georgia coach Kirby Smart placed wide receiver Colbie Young on indefinite suspension on Wednesday, one day after Young’s arrest following an altercation with a woman.

Young was arrested Tuesday on two charges of battery and one charge of assault on an unborn child following the altercation with a 20-year-old woman who described herself to Athens-Clarke County Police as Young’s ex-girlfriend.

“I got to speak to him this morning, you know, and he’s been suspended indefinitely until this legal matter is resolved,” Smart said on the weekly Southeastern Conference coaches conference call.
