Georgia quarterback D'Wan Mathis had emergency surgery to remove a cyst from his brain on Thursday and is expected to make a full recovery, according to his father.
Mathis, a freshman from Oak Park, Michigan, had the surgery at Piedmont Hospital in Athens, Georgia, where he was being kept in ICU as a precaution.
His father, Terence Mathis, told DawgNation that his son had been suffering from headaches and severe sinus pain caused by a change in climate.
"I want everyone to know my son is OK and will be back better than ever because of Coach [Kirby] Smart and the University of Georgia medical staff and coaching staff," Terence Mathis told DawgNation on Thursday night.
