Herbert Sidney Maffett (March 5, 1907 – December 26, 1994) was a college football player.
University of Georgia
Maffett was a prominent end and four-year starter on the Georgia Bulldogs football team.[1][2][3] He was elected captain of the 1930 team due to the victory over Yale at the dedication of Sanford Stadium.[1] He was selected All-Southern in 1930,[4] and a first-team All-American by the New York Evening Post.[5] He once described facing an angry coach Harry Mehre and how "you feel like you'd like to go off and hide in a hole."[6] Maffett was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1981.[7][8]
