"Jasper Sanks-Inches Away" tells the rise and fall of one of the most prolific amateur running backs, Jasper Sanks. The documentary will tell the story of the Columbus, Ga native as he is introduced to football, his dominance in high school and his fall in college. Perspectives of coaches, teammates, and even opponents will be given on his life on and off the football field. With memorable moments, tragedies endured with the murder of his twin brother, and the disappointment of not reaching the professional league. Columbus, GA has had a spawn of football players make it to the NFL recently, but to this day, a lot will argue that Jasper has been the best the city has ever seen. "Inches Away" is the untold story of a young man that gave his all to the game he loved.


Independent documentary maker is trying to raise funds to complete a documentary about Jasper Sanks going from the #1 RB in the nation out of HS to basically disappearing after UGA.

For those interested, Sanks gave a really great interview recently on the FieldStreetForum Podcast. Worth a listen if you have some time (talks about everyone from Richt and Donnan to Crowell and Quincy Carter):

Absolutely will not watch, bc they will undoubtedly talk about "that" play, which still raises my blood pressure even thinking abt it.

Last I heard about Jasper he had pretty much turned his life around. Got his degree and is now working for Exxon in Houston.
