More bad news for the Georgia football program regarding one of its 2026 pledges.
Bulldogs four-star defensive back commit Chace Calicut has been charged following a violent driving incident that occurred on July 6, according to Fox 26 in Houston.
“Two Houston-area teens are accused in a violent driving incident involving two other teens they know from school, according to court documents,” Fox 26 in Houston wrote. “Chace Zion Wade Calicut, 17, and Isaiah Brice Phillip, 17, have each been charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, records show.”
Fox 26 went into detail about what took place during the incident:
“According to court documents, a 17-year-old boy was driving with a 17-year-old girl in his passenger seat when he saw Calicut’s vehicle pull up behind him.
“The teen alleged that Calicut drove around in front of him and then hit his brakes, forcing the teen to also brake to avoid crashing into Calicut’s car.
“The teen drove around Calicut’s car and tried to get away, but Calicut pulled up next to him again, court documents allege. Calicut was allegedly driving erratically in front of and alongside the teen, and the teen saw Phillip in Calicut’s car with a handgun pointed toward him.
“The teen was able to make a U-turn and drive away from Calicut’s car, but then he heard several gunshots, according to court documents. A friend driving behind the teen reported that he saw Phillip shooting out of the window as they drove away, according to court documents.”
Calicut, a product of North Shore High School in Houston, is the No. 9 safety and No. 114 overall prospect in the 2026 recruiting class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He committed to Georgia on June 27 over Texas and Michigan.
This marks the second incident involving a 2026 Georgia commitment this month. Bulldogs defensive line pledge Seven Cloud was recently charged with domestic battery.
