Where did it go wrong? Was it during the evaluation process? Was it picking the wrong school to begin with? Was it putting faith in a former recruiter who left for a bigger opportunity. What this has all culminated in is former five-star recruit Malachi Nelson will not be the starting quarterback for the Boise State Broncos in Week 1. Maddux Madsen just beat out the former USC Trojans third-stringer.

Charges of reckless driving and racing were dismissed against Georgia linebacker Smael Mondon on Monday. Attorney Billy Healan confirmed to ESPN that his client pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of driving too fast for conditions at a hearing Monday at Athens-Clarke County Municipal Court. Mondon, who was arrested on July 10, attended defensive driving and victim impact classes and paid a $500 fine, Healan confirmed. "We feel like this was the appropriate resolution," Healen told ESPN. "Smael accelerated too fast, but he was not racing and wasn't reckless. He has paid his fine, and he is ready to move on from here. Smael is scheduled to graduate in December and had no prior traffic incidents." Mondon, from Dallas, Ga., is a senior projected to start for the third consecutive season. He made the coaches' 2023 All-SEC second team after ranking second on the roster with 68 tackles in 13 games. He led the Bulldogs in tackles with 76 in 2022. Georgia, ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press preseason poll, opens the season Aug. 31 against No. 14 Clemson in Atlanta. --Field Level Media
