Enjoy episode 10 of Bulldawg Illustrated Digital’s One on One with Jeff Dantzler featuring Derrick Floyd— UGA men’s basketball alum (1979-83) and Director of Operations for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Athens, GA.
A native of Miami, Florida and a stand out three-sport athlete in high school playing basketball, baseball and football, Derrick Floyd came to the University of Georgia in 1979 where he joined the men’s basketball team, playing at guard for the Bulldogs for four seasons. As a senior, he was the Captain of the 1982-83 SEC Championship and NCAA Final Four men’s team.
In addition to his 28 years of work with youth, now serving as the Director of Operations of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Athens, Derrick has also been the official scorer for the Georgia men’s and women’s basketball games since 1995, and he works with the official’s replay crew in the fall for football games at Sanford Stadium. He was the recipient of the 2015 UGA Athletic Association’s Bill Powell Service Award, and in 2008, he was one of four recipients of then-UGA President Michael Adams’ Fulfilling the Dream Award for community service.
