  Former Georgia Southern kicker Tyler Bass was was selected Saturday on the final day of the 2020 NFL Draft. Bass, a native of Irmo, South Carolina, went in the sixth round round to the Buffalo Bills, who took him with the 188th overall pick. Bass was a two-time All-Sun Belt selection and was named an All-American in 2019 by Chris Sailer Kicking. Bass made 114 PATs and 54 field goals in his career with a long of 50 yards. As a senior, he set a new school record with 20 made field goals. He participated in the Reese's Senior Bowl and also participated in the NFL Combine.

"In Tyler Bass, you're going to get a guy that's obviously a hard worker, who loves what he does and is clutch," said Georgia Southern head coach Chad Lunsford. "He's a guy that is ready for every moment and he's a guy you can send out there whether it's the last kick of the game or the first kick of the game and he treats it the same.Tyler is a very focused individual who is mentally strong and is very confident in what he does. Buffalo is getting a great Georgia Southern man in Tyler Bass." - Statesboro Herald

  Just days after canceling all conference play and conference championships, the Sun Belt Conference on Monday put an end to all athletic activities, including practices, as a preemptive safety measure to protect student athletes against the ongoing spread of coronavirus. For Georgia Southern and the other 11 Sun Belt institutions, it marked the final blow in what was already a decimated spring sports schedule. Up until Monday, all sports were still free to hold formal training sessions and there may have been a possibility of some sort of competition - even if it was building to nothing with conference and NCAA tournaments already canceled.

Most notable on Georgia Southern's campus was spring football camp, which held a scrimmage last Thursday and hosted what proved to be the final Pro Day in the country on Friday as the National Football League suspended team travel to any school sites later that day. The plan had been to proceed with spring workouts as practices had been left up to the discretion of each school, but as has been the case across all sports, small steps quickly led to bigger steps. Removal of fans quickly led to event cancellation and has now taken out all team activities across the board. - Statesboro Herald

  Several professional scouts and position coaches were on hand Friday as former Georgia Southern football players went through their Pro Day at Allen E. Paulson Stadium. Savannah State players also were invited and went through the day's activities. Former Eagle players who worked out were, in alphabetical order: Tyler Bass (PK), Jay Bowdry (LB/DB), Monquavion Brinson (DB), Ian Bush (DL), Jessie Liptrot (DB), Mark Michaud (WR), Derrick Newby Jr. (OL), Ty Phillips (DL), Colby Ransom (DL), Donald Rutledge Jr. (DB), Kindle Vildor (DB) and Ryan White (LB/DB).

With events surrounding COVID-19, the start time was moved up to allow the pro scouts to head home. The morning started with measurements, along with heights and weights being taken before the players worked out on the bench press and performed the vertical and broad jumps inside the weight room. After moving to the turf, each player ran two 40s, did the shuttle and cone drills and then the scouts worked out the players by position groups. - Georgia Southern Football
