Georgia announced Thursday night that junior defensive lineman Trenton Thompson is withdrawing from school this semester for “medical issues.”
Thompson was hospitalized overnight Wednesday and released Thursday morning after police reported a medical emergency, WSB-TV in Atlanta reported.
In a statement, the school said Thompson “has been dealing with a significant medical issue, which required emergency hospitalization and extended hospital stay.”
The statement also said Thompson remains under medical care.
“With respect to last night’s incident, the physical appearance and behavior described in the UGA PD report is solely related to an adverse reaction to medications prescribed specifically for his medical condition,” the statement said.
