Jesse Little Thrash (October 21, 1880 - December 12, 1942) was a college football player and engineer.
Thrash was a prominent tackle for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football teams of the Georgia Institute of Technology. He was inducted into the Georgia Tech Athletics Hall of Fame posthumously in 1962.[1] [2]
He was selected All-Southern in 1902,[3] listed by various sources as Tech's first ever All-Southern football player.[4] [5] Despite Tech losing every game, he began the season as a sub and closed it as the undisputed star of the Tech team.
Thrash was captain of the 1903 team.[6] [7]
Jesse's sons Kenneth Thrash and William G. Thrash also played football for Tech. His great niece Maria Thrash is a swimming coach, coaching the Tech swimming teams in 2003.[8] [9]
