The recipient of a bachelor's degree in risk management and insurance from the University of Georgia (UGA), Scott G. Sink draws upon more than 30 years of relevant experience in his role as senior executive vice president at McGriff, Seibels & Williams, Inc., in Birmingham, Alabama. When he isn't leading the firm's Energy and Marine Division, Scott G. Sink enjoys following his alma mater's football team.

UGA quarterback Jake Fromm is expected to be one of the top college players in the country in 2019, but expert opinions are slightly divided on the 6-foot-2, 220-pound junior. While ESPN ranked him as the fifth-best player in the country, Sports Illustrated (SI) recently had him ranked No. 23. More surprisingly, SI even had him ranked behind sophomore Penei Sewell, an offensive tackle with the University of Oregon, who only appeared in seven games last season.

Some of Fromm's detractors have highlighted the fact that he has yet to beat rival Alabama, although he recorded an impressive three-touchdown, 301-passing-yard performance against the team last season. Overall, he registered 2,761 passing yards and 30 touchdowns, with only six interceptions through 14 games last season. He will be challenged to replicate those numbers this season, even with one of the country's top offensive lines, as none of Georgia's receivers caught more than 10 passes in a Bulldog uniform last season.
