College Football Media Analyst & Former All-American Defensive Player; College Football Hall of Fame Inductee
David Pollack Biography
David Pollack is a prominent figure in college football media, known for his expertise as a former defensive player and broadcaster. Pollack played college football for the University of Georgia, where he was a three-time All-American and recognized as the top defensive player in the nation. He recorded 36 sacks during his collegiate career, ranking third in NCAA history, and became only the second Georgia player to earn First-Team All-America honors in three seasons. Pollack is the only two-time recipient of the Ted Hendricks Award as the top defensive end in college football. His achievements include the Chuck Bednarik Award, the Lott Trophy, the Lombardi Award, and two Ted Hendricks Awards.
Pollack was selected 17th overall by the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL Draft. His professional football career ended prematurely due to a cervical vertebra injury sustained during a game. Following his playing career, Pollack transitioned to sports broadcasting, beginning with studio work for CBS and hosting a sports radio talk show in Atlanta for 790 The Zone. He later joined ESPN as a college football analyst, co-hosted "Palmer & Pollack" on ESPNU, and became a regular on "College GameDay." Pollack also contributed to ESPN's Thursday Night College Football broadcasts, "College Football Live," SportsCenter, and College Football Playoff coverage.
Pollack was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, an honor announced by the National Football Foundation. His legacy is recognized both at the University of Georgia and across the college football landscape.
After his tenure at ESPN, Pollack launched the podcast "Family Goals" and continued his involvement in college football media with "See Ball Get Ball with David Pollack." He leads his own sports show, "See Ball Get Ball," and serves as a keynote speaker for corporate and faith-based audiences, sharing insights on athletic achievement, overcoming adversity, and personal growth.
