Widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes ever to suit up for the Bulldogs, Trippi primarily played running back but also was versatile enough to see time at quarterback, defensive back, punter and return specialist.

As a freshman at Georgia in 1942, Trippi helped lead the team to an 11-1 record and a consensus national championship.
