Bob McWhorter

Born June 4, 1891, in Lexington, Georgia, was the fine halfback from the University of Georgia from the seasons of 1910 to 1913, Bob McWhorter.  The National Football Foundation shares some great info on McWhorter it was an interesting journey for Bob to attend the University of Georgia. In 1910 McWhorter was attending the Gordon Military School, and was the star athlete on more than just the gridiron gang. The Military school played baseball against the Bulldogs and put a pretty good beat down on them by the score of 11-0. Georgia’s powers that be saw the great organization from the Gordon coach W. Alex Cunningham and quickly coerced him to become Georgia's football and baseball coach. One of the first things Cunnigham did in his new role was to recruit as many of the athletes from the academy as he could because after all he had laid their athletic foundations. McWhorter was of course one of the Gordon players that attended Georgia after his coaches calling. However, being only a junior at Gordon, McWhorter had to take a special exam to qualify for college. He passed the exam with very high scores, and at Georgia he was Phi Beta Kappa. He played halfback for Georgia 1910- 1913 and scored 61 touchdowns. He was all-Southern four times and made the Parke Davis All-America selection in 1913. Bob McWhorter’s collegiate football records are celebrated in the College Football Hall of Fame after his induction in 1954.
