Campus police arrested Holyfield with less than one ounce of
marijuana and paraphernalia.
Per the University of Georgia code of conduct, a one-game
suspension is mandated for athletes following any
marijuana-related arrest.
The 20-year-old is the son of former boxing heavyweight champion
Evander Holyfield.
Holyfield is competing for playing time with sophomore Brian
Herrien, who also received reps as a slot receiver during spring
drills. Holyfield rushed for 41 yards and a touchdown in the
spring game, and coach Kirby Smart said the light had come on,
hinting at a short-yardage role.
"It seems he is running faster, more powerful, more
comfortable," Smart said. "He's just a bowling ball, man. He's
really physical, especially in the red area."
Holyfield was a four-star recruit and played in five games as a
freshman.
