Georgia football podcast: Kirby Smart challenges Travon Walker to ‘have a big year’

Beginning of the show: One of the most intriguing names on Georgia’s roster is defensive lineman Travon Walker — a former five-star recruit who has been a solid contributor in his first two seasons at UGA, and has occasionally shown flashes of brilliance.

However, this upcoming season could be the time when he takes an even bigger step forward.

I’ll share on today’s show what Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart said about Walker after practice Thursday — including why Walker might be a critical component of UGA’s attempt to replace linebacker Azeez Ojulari, the Bulldogs’ leading pass rusher last season and a likely first-round pick in the upcoming NFL draft.

I’ll also share the creative ways in which UGA is considering using outside linebacker Adam Anderson.

10-minute mark: I share some compelling audio from four-star running back Branson Robinson — who was a guest on Before the Hedges on the DawgNation video channels Wednesday night.
