Georgia’s David Pollack makes College Football Hall of Fame

Former Georgia Bulldog David Pollack has made the College Football Hall of Fame.

Former Georgia Bulldog David Pollack has made the College Football Hall of Fame. ESPN’s SportsCenter surprised Pollack with the news on air:

Pollack is the 19th former University of Georgia player or coach to make the College Football Hall of Fame. Pollack had an incredible four year career at Georgia, which helped him get drafted 17th overall by the Cincinnati Bengals. A scary neck injury forced Pollack to retire from the NFL, but he’s worked with ESPN’s College GameDay since 2011.

Pollack was a three-time All-American at Georgia and was twice the SEC Player of the Year. He helped Mark Richt and UGA turn around the football program following almost twenty disappointing seasons.

Pollack’s most memorable play came against the South Carolina Gamecocks when he took the ball from the Gamecock quarterback without him noticing. Pollack helped UGA have a 13-1 season in 2002 that ended with a Sugar Bowl victory over Bobby Bowden and the Florida State Seminoles.
