Jake Scott: One of the Greatest Ever – 1945-2020

One of the best to ever play the game, and an all-time University of Georgia Bulldogs favorite, Jake Scott passed away on November 19. He was something special, and unique, blazing an emulated and admired trail on the gridiron, and living life with the utmost zest.

His days at Georgia were extra special. Scott was a part of the extraordinary 1968 Southeastern Conference championship team, one full of characters who have maintained an unbreakable bond for over a half century. His memory, the performances and the stories of this unbelievable player and character from this magnificent team will forever live on.
