I actually met him once when I was in Athens for a game and his brother was a star player for UGA's opponent.

Correct!!

No idea how/why he didn't go to a Div-1 school, unless maybe due to grades.

Your "hint" gave it away.

His brother played at So Carolina...right?

(btw...I remembered his brother, before I remembered him)

Yes, Sterling was a Gamecock.

The Sharpe brothers were from Glennville, Ga., a small town near Statesboro.
I had a friend who worked for awhile at Glennville High School & before that UGA-USC game, he & I met up with the high school coach & he had Shannon with him.
Funny that I just remember Shannon as being very polite, "yes sir, no sir", seemd somewhat shy. Very different from his eventual flamboyant style as a Broncos player & outgoing nature as a commentator!
