Former University of Georgia football coach Vince Dooley gave Donald Trump his second big Dawg endorsement Wednesday.

Dooley appeared on stage with Trump briefly Wednesday before the Republican presidential hopeful's rally at the Fox Theater.

"You're' the one who's going to make America great again," Dooley, in a hoarse voice, said. "God bless America, God bless Donald. The people have spoken."

Dooley, who earlier endorsed former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush for the Republican nomination, joins former UGA great Herschel Walker on Team Trump.
