Morrissette played in 10 games last year as a freshman, making four catches for 34 yards. A four-star recruit in the 2022 class, he has a chance to be in this year’s receiver rotation.

There were no further details from the Oconee County Sheriff’s office as of Tuesday night. There was also no immediate comment from the Georgia athletic department or football program.
