Jack accepted a golf scholarship from the University of North Alabama, where he was later named to the All-Academic Team of the Gulf South Conference with a 3.81 GPA in the College of Business and was member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. Jack had two impactful years at UNA, until his untimely death on September 20th, 1998.
