Coach Mark Richt issued senior defensive back Sanders Commings a two-game suspension due to his January arrest for domestic violence.
A 6-2, 217-pound native of Augusta, Commings was arrested Jan. 21 after an alleged altercation with a former girlfriend.
Commings will miss the Sept. 1 season-opener against Buffalo and the SEC opener at Missouri the following week.
He started all 14 games in 2011, recording 55 tackles, a forced fumble, a fumble recover, one interception and 12 pass break-ups.
