NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Former Vanderbilt linebacker Jamie Winborn has been named an SEC Legend. Vandy’s all-time leader in tackles for loss will be recognized at the SEC Championship game in Atlanta at the conclusion of the season.
The class will be honored at the 2023 SEC Football “Weekend of Champions” December 1-2 in Atlanta, highlighted by the annual SEC Legends Celebration presented by T-Mobile on Friday, December 1 at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta. The group will also be recognized prior to the SEC Football Championship Game, which will be held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday December 2.
Vanderbilt’s career leader in tackles behind the line, Winborn earned All-America and All-SEC honors as a three-year starter at linebacker for the Commodores. Winborn owns two of the top six seasons for tackles for loss in school history, including a school record 23 in 1999. Named second-team All-America his junior year, he was a three-time All-SEC selection. He led the team in solo tackles from 1998-2000, finishing his career with 141 total stops. Winborn was selected by fans as one of the Top 100 Commodores of the Vanderbilt Stadium Era.
He was a second-round choice by San Francisco in the 2001 NFL Draft and played for the 49ers, Jaguars, Buccaneers, Broncos and Titans during a 10-year pro career. He was named the 49ers Ed Block Courage Award recipient in 2004 after he overcame a neck injury sustained in practice during the 2003 season. Winborn is a cancer survivor who won a three-year battle with rectal cancer.
