David Pollack now enters as the 15th former Georgia Bulldog to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. 

As Rece Davis mentioned on the broadcast, Pollack is one of just two, three-time All-Americans at the University of Georgia. He and Herschel Walker.

Herschel Walker is undoubtedly the best football player to ever play at Georgia. However, David Pollack is the best to ever do it on the defensive side of the ball and it's right that he joins Herschel in the hall. 

Pollack was apart of a Senior class at Georgia that went 42-10 during his four years, a record until the 2019 class. 

Coach Smart has already extended his congratulations to David Pollack as well. 

Congrats #DGD, @davidpollack47 !! A true Georgia Legend and now College Football Hall of Fame inductee
