Three former Georgia athletes are headed to the State of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame.
The newest class, announced Thursday, includes former Bulldogs football standouts Terrence Edwards and Richard Seymour, along with tennis great Allen Miller. The three will be formally inducted Feb. 19-20 in Macon.
Edwards made his name in Athens as a four-year starter from 1999-2002, and his numbers still sit at the top of the Georgia record book. He finished his career as the program’s leader in receptions in each of his seasons and remains the school’s all-time leader in career receptions with 204, career receiving yards with 3,093, career touchdown catches with 30 and single-season receiving yards with 1,004 in 2002. He is still Georgia’s only 1,000-yard receiver in a single season.
After college, Edwards played the 2003 season with the Atlanta Falcons before heading to the Canadian Football League. He spent nine seasons with Montreal and closed out his playing career with seven seasons for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Edwards was inducted into the Winnipeg Football Club Hall of Fame in 2017 and was Georgia’s representative on the 2024 SEC Football Legends class.
Seymour’s resume already includes the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and now he adds another Georgia honor. He played in Athens from 1997-2000 and had a dominant 1999 season, when he led the Bulldogs with 74 tackles. That made him one of only two defensive linemen in Georgia history to lead the team in tackles for a season.
He left Georgia with 233 total tackles, 26 tackles-for-loss and 10.0 sacks, and he was twice named first-team All-SEC. Seymour also earned First-Team All-American honors in 2000.
The New England Patriots made him the No. 6 overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft, and he went on to spend eight seasons there, winning three Super Bowls and making seven Pro Bowl teams. In New England, he piled up 359 total tackles and 39.0 sacks and earned a spot on the Patriots’ 50th Anniversary Team before finishing his NFL career with four seasons for the then Oakland Raiders.
Seymour has already been recognized widely beyond Georgia. He was inducted into the Georgia-Florida Game Hall of Fame in 2015 and was also named to the SEC Legends class.
In 2018. He was inducted into the State of South Carolina Hall of Fame in 2020, named to the New England Patriots Hall of Fame, and in 2022 was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Miller’s place in Georgia sports history came on the tennis court. He starred for the Bulldogs from 1982-1985 and is best known for helping lead Georgia to the 1985 NCAA Team Championship in his senior year. That same season, he and doubles partner Ola Malmqvist captured the NCAA doubles title.
The Tucker native also made school history by becoming the first male athlete in any sport to earn All-America honors all four years in Athens. His post-playing honors include induction into the UGA Circle of Honor in 1998 and the State of Georgia Tennis Hall of Fame in 2004. He has also served as head tennis professional at the Athens Country Club since 1989.
