Logan Wright ran for 178 yards and a touchdown and Georgia Southern held off Gardner-Webb for a 30-25 win Saturday in a season opener. Wright's 8-yard touchdown run with 6:32 left extended the Eagles' lead to 30-18. Gardner-Webb then proceeded to march 75 yards in 11 plays and drew within 30-25 when Bailey Fisher threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Justin Franklin with 2:59 left.

Gardner-Webb then forced Georgia Southern into a three-and-out and forced a punt. The Bulldogs marched from their own 30-yard line to Georgia Southern's 29 before the Eagles' defense stiffened and came up with a back-to-back sacks of Fisher for seven and six yards. The six-yard loss came on fourth-and-17 and Georgia Southern took a knee for the final 13 seconds to end it. The Eagles ran the ball 65 times and gained 365 yards on the ground.

08/25/21 - Todd Bradley-Glenn, rSr/2023, Georgia Southern, 5-11, 230 (DS#999 ILB) + More +

It was a cruel coincidence how two of Georgia Southern's most experienced football players - whose uniform numbers were each changed to No. 1, befitting their leadership qualities - missed the Eagles' second and final scrimmage of the fall preseason on Saturday. Coach Chad Lunsford said fifth-year running back J.D. King was held out as a precaution as the former No. 15 completes his recovery from a torn ACL that ended his 2020 season prematurely. King has been medically cleared, and played in the Aug. 14 scrimmage, but was on the sidelines Saturday at Paulson Stadium.

Then Lunsford said he had some bad news that only reinforced why taking precautions is advisable in this contact sport. Inside linebacker Todd Bradley-Glenn, a sixth-year senior with a well-chronicled history of serious injuries while playing at Valdosta High School and in Statesboro, had torn his left biceps muscle in the first scrimmage and will miss the entire 2021 season. "That is a huge blow for us at the linebacker spot, but more importantly, it's a huge blow for us because of what an awesome leader he was on the field for us," Lunsford said. - Savannah Morning News

08/10/21 - Davis Brin, rSr/2024, Georgia Southern, 6-2, 207 (DS#33 QB) + More +

After up-and-down quarterback play the previous four seasons, the University of Tulsa is looking to fourth-year junior Davis Brin to ignite the Hurricane offense. "Davis Brin right now is our starting quarterback," coach Philip Montgomery said this week. "He's a guy that's taken the majority of the reps in the spring. He's also done that throughout the summer in their workouts as well as (in preseason practice)." Brin's career contributions equate to 19 completions in four games. Most notably, he orchestrated last year's comeback victory in overtime against Tulane, leading three fourth-quarter touchdown drives while showing incredible poise.

"I really love the way he handles us offensively," Montgomery said. "He's a guy that understands what we really want to do, makes great decisions, gets the ball out of his hands. We're excited about his leadership and what he's going to bring to the table." Brin has been solid in the early goings of the preseason, leaning on his experience with the first-team offense in the spring and continuing to make strides. "I'm really comfortable and confident," he said. "I feel like we picked up where we left off. We installed a lot and we just picked it up really quick and we are raising the level of execution every day." - Tulsa World

07/22/21 - Keaton Upshaw, rSr/2024, Georgia Southern, 6-6, 250 (DS#51 TE) + More +

Hopes of a revitalized Kentucky football offense have been dealt a significant injury blow with just more than six weeks before the 2021 season opener. Junior tight end Keaton Upshaw could miss the entire 2021 season with an injury suffered in summer conditioning, UK coach Mark Stoops confirmed during the Wildcats' stop at SEC Media Days Tuesday. Stoops did not provide specifics on the injury but acknowledged it is a significant one. "Traditionally speaking, that is a season-ending injury, but we'll see and we need to confirm that," Stoops said. "I don't have any more news other than that at this point. Saw him this morning. Just feel terrible for him. I know he's very down. He's had a remarkable summer and really has been on point working extremely hard, like all of the guys, and really excited about the year. I'm just disappointed for him." Even as Kentucky's passing game struggled to find any momentum last season, Upshaw emerged as one of the team's most promising pass-catchers. He finished the season with 16 catches for 198 yards and three touchdowns, but 11 of those catches came in the final five games. - Courier Journal

07/20/21 - J.D. King, rSr/2023, Georgia Southern, 5-10, 215 (DS#999 RB) + More +

Sun Belt Football Media Day is only a few days away, on Thursday, July 22nd, and the conference has announced that Georgia Southern football student-athletes J.D. King and Todd Bradley-Glenn will accompany head coach Chad Lunsford to the 2021 Sun Belt Media Day. Last season, the SBC accumulated an FBS-leading 21 non-conference wins in 2020, including a 3-0 record against Big 12 opponents.

In addition to the conference's accomplishments on the football field, the conference boasted a 135 percent increase in TV viewership in 2020, with seven of the conference's games surpassing 1 million viewers.

07/10/21 - Gavin Adcock, rSr/2022, Georgia Southern, 5-11, 275 (DS#999 DT) + More +

Georgia Southern defensive lineman Gavin Adcock is looking to use the new NIL ruling to promote his aspiring music career. Many have debated for years whether or not college athletes should be paid. All that changed June 11 as the Supreme Court ruled against the NCAA in a landmark antitrust case that specifically challenged the association's ability to have national limits on benefits for athletes. Because of the ruling the NCAA quickly responded by adopted rule changes that will at least temporarily get rid of restrictions that previously prohibited all college athletes from making money. The guidelines provided by the NCAA leave a considerable amount of gray area for schools to sort through and set up a system that will create different rules and opportunities for athletes.

One of the biggest changes to come from the ruling is in relation to the NCAA being unable to restrict the amount of money athletes can generate from their name, image, and likeness. NIL, as it is being called, will allow athletes the opportunity to make money by selling their name, image and likeness rights while playing in college. Coaches, athletic directors and more specifically compliance directors throughout the country have been scrambling to keep up with the latest changes and relay them to the student athletes. Schools like the University of Miami have already caught national attention with the announcement by American Top Team to commit $540,000 to their current 90 football players over the next year for a total of $6,000 per player. - Savannah Morning News

06/28/21 - Khadry Jackson, rSr/2024, Georgia Southern, 6-0, 226 (DS#71 ILB) + More +

Former North Carolina linebacker Khadry Jackson has landed in Statesboro and is set to play for the Eagles this season after venturing through the transfer portal. With the college football world continuing to deal with the transfer portal and the number of players that still don't have a destination the summer is a pretty busy time for coaches who are usually trying to take a little break. At the conclusion of spring practice Georgia Southern coach Chad Lunsford said he expected to sign about four players through the transfer portal. As of this week the Eagles have three and are expected to get the fourth in the next week. Lunsford is excited about addressing a few concerns he still had at a few positions that needed a little depth. The Eagles currently have on campus offensive lineman Liam Ryan (6-2, 308 lbs.) from N.C. State, and linebackers Khadry Jackson (6-2, 230 lbs.) from the University of North Carolina and Kevon Glenn (6-2, 230 lbs.) from Florida State. - Statesboro Herald

06/28/21 - James Graham, rJr/2023, Georgia Southern, 6-0, 195 (DS#999 QB) + More +

There is news about Georgia Southern football player James Graham, and it's not about his place on the depth chart at quarterback. In fact, the Georgia Tech transfer is now listed at wide receiver on the Eagles' roster on the Georgia Southern Athletics website. The redshirt junior (6-foot-1, 200 pounds) was a starter at QB for the Yellow Jackets and previously starred at Fitzgerald High School. Graham was expected to compete for the starting job at QB with redshirt junior Justin Tomlin, who filled in ably the past two seasons when four-year starter Shai Werts was unavailable. Graham practiced with the Eagles at the start of the spring but then was absent due to personal issues, according to head coach Chad Lunsford, and missed all of the team's scrimmages and the spring game. - Savannah Morning News
