Police arrested one of Georgia Tech’s top football recruits on Thursday for marijuana possession of less than one ounce, per the Douglas County jail records.

 

Mikell Lands-Davis, a 3-star running back from Alexander High School, and the second high-rated member of Georgia Tech’s 19-man football recruiting class for 2015 was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana.

Lands-Davis was booked around noon on Thursday, and released four hours later on a $1,000 bond. No further details were available.

 

The arrest was first reported by JacketsOnline.com’s Kelly Quinlan, who wrote ”Georgia Tech has no policy in place that precludes Lands-Davis from signing with the Yellow Jackets.

 

A couple of months ago, Lands-Davis committed to Georgia Tech over UNC, N.C. State, and Clemson. The 5-foot-10, 205-pound is rated as the state’s No. 53 overall prospect.

 

Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson cannot comment specifically on Lands-Davis per NCAA rules since he is still a prospective student-athlete.
