Charley Trippi, one of the legends of the early days of SEC football at Georgia, has died. He was 100.

Trippi was a “quintuple threat” halfback during his time with the Bulldogs — equally proficient as a runner, passer, pass-catcher, placekicker and punter. The Pennsylvania native ended his college career having accounted for 3,903 yards of total offense and 42 touchdowns, enormous numbers in a primitive offensive era.

Trippi played alongside Heisman Trophy winner Frank Sinkwich on Georgia’s 1942 national championship team, then spent the next two seasons serving in the U.S. Army during World War II. He returned to college in 1945, and earned All-SEC honors the next two years.

Trippi was a unanimous All-American as a senior in 1946, when Georgia went 11-0 and won the Sugar Bowl. He was the SEC Player of the Year, won the Maxwell Award as national player of the year and finished as runner-up for the Heisman behind Army’s Glenn Davis.

Drafted No. 1 overall by NFL’s Chicago Cardinals, he helped his team to the NFL championship as a rookie and played nine seasons total in the league. He was a first-team All-Pro in 1948 and a two-time Pro Bowler.

Trippi was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1959 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1968. He celebrated his 100th birthday at home last December, with current Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart among those in attendance.
