Former head coach Mark Richt and former receiver Terrence Edwards are set to be inducted into the Florida-Georgia Hall of Fame next week in Jacksonville. The two are the newest members set to be recognized during one of the best rivalries in the SEC.
This honor is one of many Richt has received since retiring from the sport in 2018. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame this year. He had a record of 145-51 during his time at Georgia. Richt is also highly-regarded off the field with his contributions to researching Parkinson’s and Crohn’s disease.
Edwards is the other Bulldog inductee with Richt. Edwards had a very successful four-year career with the Bulldogs from 1999 to 2002. He holds multiple receiving records such as the career receiving yards with 3,093 and career touchdowns with 30. Edwards was in the NFL for a short stint, but really found his footing in the CFL. In 2017, he was inducted into the Winnipeg Football Club Hall of Fame.
Tight end Brock Bowers is the player closest to breaking one of Edwards records, receiving touchdowns. Bowers likely will not come close to that record as he underwent surgery on his ankle that will take him out for much of the rest of the regular season.
