UGA Football DT Travon Walker Called upon Early

UGA football DT Travon Walker will be called upon early this fall to get after the ball carrier. The former 5-star out of Upson-Lee High school in Thompson County is poised to play.

Travon Walker left high school standing 6'5 270 pounds and has been working to add weight since signing his letter of intent in February. 

Though, there's no reason to believe this young man can't put on 25 to 30 pounds before the season opener against Vanderbilt. 

UGA needed interior pass rush all season last year and Walker brings loads of that. He played all over the field for Upson-lee in high school and even though that showed tremendous athletic range, he still needs development on his hand fighting skills. 

This young man will need to be a factor on the Georgia Bulldogs defense this season if they are going to remain a contender for the College Football Playoffs. 

He will be able to win on passing downs, but UGA will have to develop his body and technique to hold up in the run game against SEC caliber offensive linemen.
