Georgia linebacker Natrez Patrick admitted Thursday that he violated his probation by failing a pair of positive drug tests, documents revealed Thursday.

However, in lieu of 30 days jail time, the former Mays High standout agreed to enter an inpatient drug rehabilitation program in Augusta.

He will not play in the Rose Bowl per his attorney Billy Healan.

According to the document, Patrick must complete the program and will be unable to leave the facility against medical advice. Patrick is expected to comply with all aftercare recommendations following completion of the program.

Georgia head trainer Ron Courson issued the following statement.

“Due to confidentiality requirements, we can’t comment, other than to say we continue to follow policies, and we have no higher priority than the well-being of our student-athletes," he said.

Patrick’s hearing was Thursday following his arrest along with teammate Jayson Stanley for a misdemeanor possession of marijuana charge on the night of Dec. 2 after Georgia’s win over Auburn in the SEC Championship.

Although those charges were dropped, the arrest triggered a University drug test, which he passed before failing a subsequent test by Athens-Clarke County on Dec. 6.

A second test by Athens-Clarke County on Dec. 19, as a result of the probation for his October arrested for misdemeanor marijuana possession, showed evidenced of opiates and alcohol.

Patrick did not practice with the Bulldogs on Thursday, their next-to-last in Athens before traveling to Southern California for the Rose Bowl on Dec. 26.
