Stop us if you've heard this one before: A Georgia football player has been arrested. But this time there's a twist: TikTok is being blamed for the actions that led to the handcuffs.
Last week Georgia freshman London Seymour, the son of three-time Super Bowl champion Richard Seymour, was arrested on 11 counts of second-degree criminal property damage in the state of Georgia. He was booked last Thursday and posted bond shortly after.
According to On3, police logs indicate that Seymour was one of several people who had been arrested for “charges resulted from a criminal damage to property investigation.” He was the only University of Georgia student arrested.
TikTok To Blame?
Here's where things get interesting. Speaking to the Athens Banner-Herald on Thursday, Seymour's lawyer Kim Stephens explained that he had simply been participating in a viral TikTok challenge called the "Door Kick Challenge."
The Door Kick Challenge is apparently a spinoff of the old "ding-dong-ditch" prank but instead of ringing doorbells and running away, the participants instead aggressively kick and bang on random doors - often at night - before running away. As you might expect, such behavior runs the risk of damaging doors and property.

Coming out of high school last year, Seymour was a three-star prospect who initially committed to Boston College. But he instead decided to join the Bulldogs - his famous father's alma mater - as a walk-on.
Seymour appeared in one game in 2025. As of today, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart has not commented on the situation.
