College Career

David received his college education at the University of Georgia where he studied history. His career as a legit football player began in 2001, when he started to play for his college football team, the Georgia Bulldogs. The young athlete immediately rose as a promising star in the eyes of football fans in 2002 when he played in a game against South Carolina. He intercepted a pass from the opposing quarterback Corey Jenkins and helped his team to victory.

David Pollack’s season for the Georgia Bulldogs was so successful that he became a 3-time All-American and All-SEC in school history (from 2002 to 2004), two-time SEC Player of the Year (2002 and 2004).

After graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in History, David finished his college career with outstanding results. During his play for the Georgia Bulldogs he had 36 sacks, which was a record for this team in the school’s history. As a defensive end for the Bulldogs, he was the second Bulldog to be a three-time All-American after Herschel Walker did it first.

He once was asked about his weight in his senior year and what happened as he was a lot leaner than in his junior year at Georgia, He replied that was committed to being an athlete and he had to make changes to his body because of the size required on the field, especially at the defensive end. His position was thought to require him to be huge, it was all about having a big size and all the best players had to train to be strong.

He started taking nutrition classes in his senior year. Before the classes, most of his diet would consist of meals like 2 Wendy's triple stacks and a large frosty. A nutritionist helped him read labels and apply his knowledge to get the best of what he eats. He got down to 245 pounds from the 292 pounds he weighed in his junior year.

He said that you don't have to be huge to be strong. He admitted that he initially lost some strength when he lost weight but he made some changes in his workout routine to regain his strength. It took him some time to put back some muscle on but he was committed to the mission. The biggest benefit he got from the weight loss was the endurance he gained. As a lighter player, he was able to move harder for longer period of time.
