Shai Werts said the last 10 days have been the most trying of his entire life. Given what he's gone through prior, that's saying something. "It's been difficult," Werts said after a team scrimmage Saturday, Aug. 10, at Paulson Stadium in discussing his J uly 31 arrest on charges of misdemeanor possession of cocaine and speeding in Saluda County, South Carolina. "I stayed down and I knew that the truth was eventually going to come out. Just didn't know how long it would take. It's definitely been hard to deal with."The truth - the substance found on the hood of Werts' car that night in Saluda County which tested positive for cocaine on the scene - was actually not cocaine. In fact, it wasn't a controlled substance of any kind, according to the Aug . 8 test results from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED). "SLED received the substance and completed the drug analysis," read the official report from The Eleventh Circuit Solicitor's Office. "The forensic scientist determined that no con trolled substance was detected." - Savannah Morning News

Shai Werts, the starting quarterback for LSU's season opening opponent Georgia Southern, is back with the team after being suspended earlier in the week, according to Georgia TV station's report. WSAV-TV says Werts returned to practice on Saturday after submitting to, and passing, a drug test, but school officials say the two-year starter is still suspended for the opener against the Tigers until his case plays out, according to the Georgia Southern Student-Athlete Code of Conduct. Werts could possibly play if his misdemeanor charges are dropped, at which point it is up to the school's athletic director and school staff to determine disciplinary action. Werts was indefinitely suspended after being arrested and charged with speeding and misdemeanor poss ession of cocaine during a traffic stop in Saluda, South Carolina on Wednesday night. - Baton Rouge Advocate

Georgia Southern indefinitely suspended quarterback Shai Werts on Friday after it was discovered the two-year starter was arrested for cocaine possession. The Eagles open their season Aug. 31 at LSU. On Wednesday, Werts was pulled over by police in South Carolina for speeding when they noticed a white substance on his car, according to the police report. Werts reportedly told police the substance was bird poop but later tested positive for cocaine, according to The George-Anne, Georgia Southern's studen t newspaper.Werts is the Eagles' expected starter heading into the season. He was named to the All-Sun Belt Conference Second Team in 2018, when he started in all 13 games for Georgia Southern, which went 10-3 with a 23-21 win over Eastern Michiga n in the Camellia Bowl. Werts rushed for 908 yards and 15 touchdowns in Georgia Southern's option offense, and he passed for 987 yards and 10 touchdowns with no interceptions. Head coach Chad Lunsford also announced Friday defensive end Quan Griffin was suspended from a separate arrest. - Baton Rouge Advocate

A shock was delivered to Georgia Southern fans just minutes before the team officially opened fall football camp on Friday as head coach Chad Lunsford announced the arrests and subsequent suspensions of two Eagle players - most notably starting quarterba ck Shai Werts. "Shai was arrested Wednesday in Saluda, South Carolina," Lunsford said. "It is our understanding that he was charged with speeding and misdemeanor possession of cocaine after some residue was found on the hood of the car."Werts came to Georgia Southern in 2016 and sat out his first season before winning the starting quarterback job as a redshirt freshman ahead of the 2017 season opener. He has started all but one game - missed due to injury in 2017 - since then and has become the l eader of the Eagle offense. - Statesboro Herald
