College football
J. G. Lowe was an end on M. B. Banks's Tennessee Volunteers of the University of Tennessee, captain of both the 1924 and 1925 teams.[1] Lowe was the last to be elected captain of the football team in consecutive years until 2004.[2][3] He was the younger brother of Chink Lowe. J. G. was selected All-Southern in 1925,[4] an honor predicted by his brother. "Chink" once wrote "We practiced pretty hard today," he wrote. "The boys showed great improvement over yesterday, so I am somewhat encouraged. . . . J.G. showed up good today and altho he doesn't know it all, he seems sure of making the team. I believe he will run some one a good race for All Southern."[5] J. G. was also selected a third-team All-American in 1925.[6]
Coaching career
Lowe coached at King University in Kingsport.[7]
