According to police reports, the theft took place last Friday and  items totaling about $1,990 were stolen from lockers of Georgia football players Alexander Ogletree, Abry Jones, Kenarious Gates, Jordan Love, Rhett McGowan, Jamal Allen and Quintin Williams. Police listed eight stolen items, mostly iPods and accessories. At least some of the merchandise was recovered in the sweep of a Columbus home last week, according to UGA police.

Both players reportedly attended the Alabama spring game Saturday.
