THOMASVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

Guy McIntyre is a three-time Super Bowl champion and five-time Pro Bowl guard. He first starred at Thomasville High in the 1970s and was named All-State by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and All-American by Coach and Athlete Magazine. The AJC rated him the state’s No. 4 prospect. McIntyre was a tight end in high school, and then transitioned to the defensive line at the University of Georgia, getting starts at the position as a freshman before ultimately settling in as an offensive tackle. McIntyre was a member of the Bulldogs’ 1980 National Championship team and their 1980, 1981 and 1982 SEC Championship teams. He made All-SEC in 1982 and 1983 and won the Jacobs Award for the SEC’s best blocker in 1983 as a team leader on Georgia’s Cotton Bowl-winning team. The San Francisco 49ers drafted him in the third round of the 1984 NFL Draft, and he played 13 NFL seasons as a guard and occasionally as a blocking back/fullback in coach Bill Walsh’s innovative offenses. He won Super Bowls in 1984, 1988 and 1989, all with the 49ers, and made five straight Pro Bowl teams (1989-93). McIntyre has worked the past 20 years in the 49ers’ front office and is currently the team’s director of alumni relations. McIntyre was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 2007.
