Meet Shedrick Wynn, who arrived at Georgia in 1999 to play football but never finished his college degree.

The defensive end was initially recruited to Georgia by Jim Donnan, went through a coaching change that brought Mark Richt to Athens, and got significant time on the 2002 team that captured the school’s first Southeastern Conference title in 20 years.

Needing a job with better health insurance benefits, Wynn accepted an offer to become a paraprofessional and assistant football coach at Cedar Shoals High School, not far from the Georgia campus.

Over the years, Wynn had stayed in touch with Horvat, inquiring time and time again about returning to school but never following through.

Then, a chance meeting at Cedar Shoals, where Horvat’s children went to school and she remains an avid booster, sparked a renewed interest in Wynn to finally finish what he started all those years ago.
