Former ESPN analyst David Pollack made a big personal request via social media on Monday.

Pollack, who was a star on the defensive line for Georgia in college, disclosed that his wife has brain cancer and is set to undergo surgery this week. He asked for prayers from people.

“I do not share much of my personal life on social media but today is gonna be different. If you are the praying type please lift up my wife Lindsey. She has brain cancer and surgery is Wednesday at Duke. So thankful to serve a loving God that meets us in our struggles!” Pollack wrote on X.
