An attorney for freshman Georgia defensive tackle London Seymour said Seymour was arrested on multiple felony charges for allegedly taking part in a TikTok challenge.
Seymour, the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame member Richard Seymour, was arrested on Jan. 29 along with three others. He was charged with 11 felony counts of criminal damage to property for alleged incidents that took place on Dec. 5 and Dec. 6 at a UGA residence hall.
Seymour's attorney, Kim Stephens,told the Athens Banner-Heraldthat Seymour was taking part in a "door kick challenge." The viral escapade that is similar to ding dong ditching, but involves kicking a door instead of ringing a doorbell.

News of Seymour's arrest emerged Wednesday night via multiple outlets reporting an erroneous number of charges despite the Athens-Clarke County jail site listing 11 charges on his booking profile.
Stephens told the paper that University of Georgia police "took 11 warrants in a case that they could have and should have taken a single warrant. … I expect Mr. Seymour's case will likely be dismissed upon completion of a Pretrial Diversion Program that would include paying for any damage to property."
The Georgia athletic department has declined to comment about Seymour's arrest.
The freshman is a walk-on from Suwanee, Georgia. He appeared in one game in 2025 as he played in the team's season-opening win over Marshall.
