LEGENDS OF POLK’S PAST: George Pridgett, G (Basketball)
A native of Boston and a transfer from Jacksonville University, George Pridgett spent just one season at Polk State College but it was a memorable one. Named a team captain. Pridgett led the Eagles in several statistical categories and was one of the top shooters in the FCSAA.
During the 2022-23 season, Pridgett ranked fourth in the state in points per game (19.6), fifth in 3-point percentage (41.1%), ninth in steals per game (1.9), and second in 3-pointers made (88). One of the highlights of the season for Pridgett was a game-winning 55-foot bank shot to beat Santa Fe College as time expired.
Pridgett left the Eagles as a first-team All-Suncoast Conference and an All-FCSAA selection. Pridgett is currently enrolled at Florida International University with two years of eligibility remaining.
