Did any of you go to high school with someone....or know somebody.... that got a scholarship to play football for Georgia or some other D-1 school?

If so, what ever became of them?

I'm equally curious about the ones that didn't go on to play in the NFL as the few who may have.

Went to law school with guys who played for UCLA, Washington, and Notre Dame.

I've got a buddy in the Secret Service, and he's met several former players on the various details.

Connor and Jaybo Shaw. I'm sure you know where one is, and the other is/was a Ga Southern. That's the only two I know of the top of my head.

Eldridge Milton - Clemson University, played 1 season with the Chigago Bears.

Walt Garard
Allan Boatwright

Neither played D1, but both played college ball at Henderson State University.

Was friends with Jim Hendley, who played at FSU from 1982 to 1986 (think he got a medical redshirt, not sure). He also played 1 season for the Atlanta Falcons .. 1987 I think. Last I heard he was coaching high school ball in Florida somewhere.

Didn't know him, but played in a state playoff game against Herschel when he was a senior at Johnson County. We got our asses reamed by the soon to be Bulldog legend!

Went to high school with Keith Brooking. I don't think anyone here needs me to tell you where he went and what he did, right?

Went to school with Thomas Brown and Asher Allen. There were a bunch of other guys I went to high school with who either didn't pan out or went to smaller schools.

ETA: Also was there with Dwayne Harris, played at ECU and now with the Cowboys.
