According to a Lake Oconee News report, Greene County head football coach Darius Robinson has been arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) after allegedly choking and hitting several of his players.

Per the report, Robinson did not return to the school after the Thanksgiving break. The GBI released a statement regarding the arrest of Robinson.

“The GBI has arrested and charged Darius Terrell Robinson, age 34 of Union Point, GA, with two counts of Aggravated Assault and one count of Simple Battery,” the GBI release said via the report. “On Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at about 12:30 p.m., the Greensboro Police Department requested the GBI to assist with an investigation regarding Robinson hitting and choking several minors who played football for Robinson between September and November 2025.”

The Tigers finished 2-9 this past season under Robinson, with the team qualifying for the Class A state playoffs. Robinson has just completed his first season as Greene County’s head coach.

Also in the report, Robinson was quoted with looking forward to the 2026 season as the team featured a number of sophomores and freshmen.

“They continue to grow and make strides towards the expectation,” Robinson said via the Lake Oconee report. “They already know that the clock for the 2026 season started on Monday. We came back in, got dressed out, and did squats. We worked out, did power cleans, and did our normal deal. In January, we’re going to hit the off-season workout regimen hard, and it’s going to roll right into speed training, and we’re going to go into spring ball. We’re going to look up, and it’s going to be July going into August, and it’s going to be time to play football again.”
