Truly sad news to report.........

Former UGA, Warner Robins star Womack dies following surgery

Jimmy Womack, the starting fullback on Georgia’s 1980 national championship team and a star player at Warner Robins, died Tuesday following complications from surgery.

Womack went in for hip surgery, and complications led to organ failure, Warner Robins football head coach Bryan Way said.

“It’s just tragic,” said Way, who was a ninth-grader when Womack was a senior at Warner Robins. “He’s one of the all-time greats. He helped put Warner Robins on the map. He was a good person and gave back to us. He was always willing to talk to the guys. Just a tragedy.”

Damn Good Dawg for sure.

For sure Jimmy brought a lot of attention to Warner Robins, tough on the field, big heart open to all off of the gridiron.

Thanks for posting NC_Dawg.

You probably remember the game well posted below NC_Dawg. Know that there are some here that also remember the hated Irish lining up against our Bulldogs.

Jimmy Womack was a blocking back for Herschel Walker, made #34's Freshman year a bit easier with JW blocking for him. Walker had/has great love and respect for Womack. Much of what happened in the National Championship game happened because of Jimmy Womack. RIP Jimmy Womack, a "TEAM PLAYER" if ever there was one.



Edit . . . . Want to see what Jimmy Womack did for Georgia and Herschel Walker? At the 2 minute mark of the video watch Womack (#25) blocking for Walker.

Jimmy will have plenty of Georgia fans with him RIP.

Very sad!

Womack was a tank! DGD!

God bless!
