   A star college football player hotly tipped for the NFL is facing arrest   
   over a car crash that left two dead, including one of his teammates.   
      
   Police in Georgia have an arrest warrant for Jalen Carter, 21, for alleged   
   reckless driving and racing over the collision on 15 January.   
      
   On Twitter, Mr Carter released a statement saying he expects to be "fully   
   exonerated".   
      
   He has been widely projected to be a top-five NFL Draft pick next month.   
      
   Being chosen virtually guarantees footballers becoming overnight   
   millionaires.   
      
   Police say Mr Carter, a defensive tackle for the Georgia Bulldogs, was   
   behind the wheel of a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk in a high-speed race   
   that ended in the deaths of Chandler LeCroy, 24, the team's recruiting   
   analyst, and Devin Willock, 20, Mr Carter's teammate.   
      
   Ms LeCroy was driving a Ford Expedition at speeds exceeding 100mph   
   (160km/h). Toxicology reports showed that she had a blood alcohol   
   concentration of more than double the legal limit.   
      
   Two other members of the Georgia football team were injured in the   
   accident, which police had initially thought involved only one vehicle.   
      
   "The evidence demonstrated that both vehicles switched between lanes,   
   drove in the centre turn lane, drove in opposite lanes of travel, overtook   
   other motorists, and drove at high rates of speed, in an apparent attempt   
   to outdistance each other," the Athens-Clarke County Police Department   
   said in a statement.   
      
   Mr Carter received the arrest warrant notification on Wednesday while in   
   Indianapolis, Indiana, at the NFL scouting combine, an annual event that   
   acts as an official audition for the best college football players.   
      
   It precedes the NFL Draft, where young athletes hope to make their   
   football dreams come true and where contracts amounting to tens of   
   millions of dollars hang in the balance.   
      
   On Twitter, Mr Carter released a statement saying he will return to   
   Athens, Georgia, to answer the misdemeanour charges and "make certain that   
   the complete and accurate truth is presented".   
      
   He said media reports had contained "inaccurate information" about the   
   crash, without specifying details.   
      
   University of Georgia football head coach Kirby Smart said: "The charges   
   announced today are deeply concerning, especially as we are still   
   struggling to cope with the devastating loss of two beloved members of our   
   community."   
      
   The accident occurred six days after Georgia won their second consecutive   
   national college football championship, and hours after a parade   
   celebrating that victory.
