2020 CFB season countdown: 78 days until Georgia football

There are 78 days before Georgia kicks-off versus Virginia in Atlanta Sept. 7.

Former Georgia defensive tackle Trenton Thompson (2015-2018) was the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2015 recruiting class.

Thompson was the USA Today Defensive Player of Year coming out of Albany (GA) Westover Comprehensive High School in 2014. The previous year, he was Rivals’ Junior of the Year. He was the highest rated recruit in the country and the center of a ferocious recruiting battle among Auburn, Alabama and Georgia.

Thompson had a great career at Georgia, recording 127 career tackles and six sacks in 37 games, but struggled to stay healthy, dealing with a lot of nagging injuries during his career.
