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.[2] His first three years he played next to Estes Kefauver on the line. Lowe was the last to be elected captain of the football team in consecutive years until 2004.[3][4] Lowe and his three brothers (Andy Lowe, Chink Lowe, and Ted Lowe) all played for Tennessee. J. G. was selected All-Southern in 1925,[5] an honor predicted by his brother. "Chink" once wrote "We practiced pretty hard today...The boys showed great improvement over yesterday, so I am somewhat encouraged. . . . J.G. showed up good today and although 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."[6] J. G. was also selected a third-team All-American in 1925.[7]

Coaching career

Lowe coached at Tennessee High in Bristol[8] and at King University in Kingsport.[9]

In 1931, Lowe married Dorothy Montague Sevier.
