I might catch heat for this, but I’d say Ben McDonald. He was the foundation of what the baseball program has become.
I hate leaving off Billy Cannon, but the baseball program is too big to not be represented.

The typical UGA responses will contain Herschel (obviously), a few other football players, and perhaps Dominique Wilkins.
However, Teresa Edwards HAS to be on the list. She was a two-time All-American, led the team to two Final Fours, and went on to four Olympic gold medals.
Spec Towns came to UGA on a football scholarship, but he was the first Georgian to be on an Olympic team (1936) where he won the gold, and he twice held the world record. He then coached the track team until 1975.
Courtney Kupets also HAS to be on the list. She won nine individual NCCA gymnastics championships, was on championship teams, and medaled at the Olympics and the World Games.

We need some parameters. Do you have to have a female, etc? For Auburn:
Football: Bo, Cam, Pat Sullivan
Basketball: Barkley
Baseball: Frank Thomas, Tim Hudson, Josh Donaldson
Female Athletes: Suni Lee, Kirsten Coventry, DeWanna Bonner
Golf: Jason Dufner
Men’s Swimming: Rowdy Gaines
Based off whatever parameters, (only one from a sport, female must be included, Olympic sport must be included, etc.) then here’s the list to choose from.

But seriously - who would we say for track? Medal wise - Conley…?(sometimes it’s easy to miss others with our T&F history)
Also think that Jason Peters and Joe Johnson are guys that aren’t always brought up, but have had stellar careers.
