Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of Gene Jelks. Gene had life by the tail until he threw it all away. Does anyone know where he landed? Just wondering what line of work he was able to find. I don't expect to see him running out the game ball at home games any time soon.

Seriously, you joined back in 2005 and you didn't post until July of this year. Most of the comments we get about him seem to come from Auburn fans...

Interesting what a search of past posts indicates also. :wink: Probably the fact that Jelks was featured on the "game in history" today had something to do with the question. It was an Ole Miss game in the mid-80's.

I hate some of the choices he has made but man did I like to see him returning punts before he got injured.......he was scary dangerous! And I only passed thru toomers corner once at like 4 am on my way to a family reunion in Odum Ga. Hows that for remote! And random!

This question would better answered on a AU site. Barn boosters had more contact with him than ours ever did. Call in Finebaum next time Pat Dye is on, I bet he knows where Jelks is.

Being that he's originally from where I live, I've heard talk from the locals that he's somewhere in Atlanta now, not sure what he's doing though....
