Reports: Football Player Wanted in Dorm Burglary is 5-Star Recruit

The football player wanted for burglary at a University of Georgia dormitory last weekend is reportedly a 5-star recruit with offers from many of the country’s top programs.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported an arrest warrant for felony burglary was issued by UGA Police for Darnell Salomon, a wide receiver from Hialeah, Fla. Salomon, who has offers from Georgia, Alabama, Florida State, Clemson and LSU, among others, is considered one of the top prospects in the country.

Salomon is accused of entering a Busbee Hall residence of two female students through an unlocked door Saturday morning, July 19, and stealing a wallet, credit cards and iPhone 5. The women were reportedly awakened during the incident.

Salomon was in Athens over the weekend to attend UGA’s Dawg Night camp, the AJC said.

The rising junior is ranked a 5-star football recruit by 247sports.com.

Salomon’s coach at Champagnat Catholic High School told the website his player is innocent.

“When the facts in the case come out we’re all sure Darnell Salomon will be cleared of all charges,” coach Mike Tunsil told 247Sports.
