Trent Thompson — Georgia’s elite defensive tackle and one of the top returning players in the SEC — is withdrawing from classes to deal with what has been called a “significant medical issue.” What will his absence mean for UGA?

I talk about that today on DawgNation Daily — the daily podcast for Georgia Bulldogs fans.

Plus DawgNation recruiting insider Jeff Sentell joins the show and we discuss…

• The impact new Bulldogs defensive line coach Tray Scott already has made on one of UGA’s top recruiting targets
• The length some fans might be willing to go to in order to secure a commitment from 5-star running back Zamir White
• And the work still left to be done for UGA to impress 4-star wide receiver Brian Hightower
