Former Georgia Bulldogs coach Mark Richt shared his favorite Senior Day memory from his coaching days on the ACC Network. Richt coached numerous Senior Days at Georgia and Miami, but he knew his favorite moment right away.
Richt’s favorite moment came in 2002 for Georgia Bulldogs senior defensive lineman David Jacobs, who had to give up his college football career in order to recover from a stroke. Jacobs suffered a stroke following a practice in Nov. 2001.
Jacobs had to relearn how to walk. He put himself through a grind to improve his cognitive and physiological functioning one day at a time.
