Stinchcomb Named Terry College of Business Outstanding Young Alumnus Former Georgia All-America and Academic AllAmerica football player Matt Stinchcomb was this year named the recipient of the UGA Terry College of Business Outstanding Young Alumni Award. Stinchcomb, a 1998 summa cum laude graduate of the Terry College, is a client executive for Savannah-based Seacrest Partners, working out of the company's Atlanta office. He is also one of the most decorated student-athletes in UGA history. As an offensive lineman at UGA, Stinchcomb was a consensus All-America first-team selection in 1998 and a two-time All-American in 1997-98. He was honored with the prestigious NCAA Top Eight Award and he was a Lombardi Award finalist. A first-round NFL draft choice of the Oakland Raiders, Stinchcomb later played in the Super Bowl as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Stinchcomb, who was a standout student-athlete at Parkview High School in suburban Atlanta, made a perfect 4.0 in all but two of his grading periods at UGA, graduating in three and a half years with an overall GPA of 3.96. He was the 1998 Academic All-American of the Year and a two-time Academic All-America first team member.
