• In the modern era, GS is 240-18 when scoring 30 or more points, 105-136-1 when scoring less than 30 points. As a member of the FBS (since 2014), the Eagles are 34-4 when scoring 30 or more points, 17-34 when scoring less than 30 points.

• GS is 215-1 all-time when having a lead of 18 or more points at any point in the game. That lone loss came in 2005 when the Eagles led at Texas State 35-16 in the third quarter and lost 50-35.

• The Eagles are 208-33 in the modern era (since 1984) when winning the turnover battle in a game,

66-93-1 when losing it, and 70-28 when the margin is tied.

• Since 1984, Georgia Southern is 192-16 when allowing 17 points or less, including 16-0 under current head coach Chad Lunsford. The last time the Eagles lost a game when allowing less than 18 points was in 2013, a 16-14 loss to Furman at home. The current streak of victories when allowing 17 or less points is at 28.

• With Arkansas ranked No. 20 in the Associated Press poll, a win would mark the highest ranked FBS opponent Georgia Southern has beaten. The Eagles beat No. 25 App State in 2018 and again beat the No. 21 Mountaineers in 2019.

• J.D. King transferred to Georgia Southern from Oklahoma State in January of 2019 and went through spring practice anticipating he’d have to sit out due to the NCAA transfer rule. His appeal was approved in time for the 2019 season, allowing him to play for the Eagles. • After a slow start due to still learning the offense, King finished 2019 as the Eagles’ second-leading rusher with 804 yards rushing and eight touchdowns. In 2020, he rushed for 625 yards and five touchdowns, including a career-high 196 yards at ULM on Oct. 3. • Last season, he played in and started seven games before going down in the second quarter against Troy on Nov. 7 with a torn ACL in his left knee. He was second on the team in rushing despite missing the final six games, rushing for 625 yards and five touchdowns. • An honorable mention All-Sun Belt Conference selection by the league and Pro Football Focus, the fifth year senior used the option to return in 2021 based on the

CaNteeN the ball haWk

• Redshirt sophomore cornerback Derrick Canteen had big shoes to fill last year in replacing Kindle Vildor, who was drafted in the fifth round by the Chicago Bears. • After a rocky opener against Campbell, Canteen settled into his role nicely and finished with six interceptions, tying the school record and finishing tied for the national lead. • The Evans, Georgia, native started all 13 games in 2020, posting 48 tackles, 10 pass break ups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery that he returned 22 yards for a touchdown at Army West Point. That touchdown was especially meaningful as his father, Derrick, spent 22 years in the U.S. Army • After enrolling in January of 2019, he went through spring ball and played in four games in 2019, preserving his redshirt. He saw action on just 18 total snaps, all on special teams. • He was named a Freshman All-American by both The Athletic and the FWAA, as well as a first-team All-Sun Belt corner by most outlets. • According to Pro Football Focus, Canteen had the third-highest coverage grade among Group of 5 cornerbacks who played 50 percent of defensive snaps last season at an 80.8 and gave up just 32 receptions on 69 targets (46.4 percent, fourth best among G5 cornerbacks) with just two penalties.

the Next Nashville star? • Georgia Southern has been the college home to several major country music stars, including Cole Swindell and Luke Bryan to name a few, but the next great country act could be lining up at nose tackle this week. • Meet Gavin Adcock.

middle. When he’s away from the field, he’s honing his talents singing. • For Adcock, a redshirt senior from Watkinsville who will graduate in December, it all started with a few lyrics he wrote in high school about what life after football might feel like. Now five years later, he released his first single, appropriately titled “We Love Football,” in April with guitarist and high school friend Sebastian Caballero. • His second single, called “Ain’t No Cure,” was released this past summer and he plans to turn his focus to music when he’s done after this season. Adcock’s music can be found on his Instagram and YouTube pages. • For more on Georgia Southern’s Nashville success, check out http://gseagles.com/MusicRow.

b-Miller

• Heading into the 2019 season, offensive lineman Brian Miller had earned preseason all-conference accolades from several magazines and was expected to be the anchor at right tackle for the Eagles. • That all changed on Aug. 18 in the preseason when he suffered a dislocated right hip in a freak, non-contact injury at practice. He had surgery soon after to repair the hip and began a long road to recovery. There was doubt he would ever play again. But after a rigorous rehabilitation, which included work on a zero-gravity treadmill, Miller returned in 2020 and started six games for the Eagles. • He was a nominee for the 2020 Mayo Clinic

Comeback Player of the Year, an award won by his teammate Drew Wilson in 2019. • Last year, he played in 12 games, seeing action on 456 offensive snaps. He earned second-team All-Sun Belt Conference honors from Pro Football Focus and was named the Georgia Southern Comeback Athlete of the Year. • The Savannah native came to Georgia Southern as a defensive lineman, but moved to the offensive side of the ball his redshirt season. • In 2018, he started all 13 games in his first year on the line at right tackles and was on the field for 732 total plays (659 offensive, 73 special teams). He moved over to left tackle last season. • Miller and his wife, Michelle, were married in 2019.

thoMpsoN the speCial teaMs assassiN

• Senior NaJee Thompson is officially listed as a wide receiver on the roster, but he’s made his mark on special teams in his time in Statesboro. The Boiling Springs, South Carolina, native has blocked three blocked kicks, recorded 20 tackles, recovered three fumbles and forced a fumble on special teams. • Thompson has blocked three punts for his career, two of which came at ULM on Oct. 3, earning him Sun Belt Conference Special Teams Player of the Week plaudits. • In 2019, he was a demon on punt coverage who racked up 10 solo tackles, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble. In 2018, he had six tackles on special teams, recovering a fumble at Texas State and also blocking a punt that was returned for a touchdown at ULM. • The speedster was a two-time state champion in the 400 and 200 meters and left high school holding the school record in the 200m. • For his career, he has 26 tackles on special teams, a forced fumble, three fumble recoveries and three blocked kicks.

the Wright stuff

• Running back Logan Wright’s return to the field has been nothing short of remarkable after suffering a broken neck in 2019 against South Alabama. The redshirt senior from Jacksonville, Florida, started the first five games of 2019 before going down with a cervical fracture C2 on Oct. 3 in Mobile, Alabama. • His final season totals were 52 carries for 294 yards and two touchdowns. He tallied 114 yards rushing on 15 carries against Maine to highlight his year. After an arduous rehab program, Wright returned to the field in 2020, but was fourth on the depth chart for the opener.

offeNSiVe liNe play BreaKDowN(offensive plays only ... S-started; P-played; DNP-dressed, but did not play on offense; DND-did not dress; INJ-injured; R-redshirting)

• Injuries and suspensions, combined with his strong play, vaulted him to the top of the depth chart and he made the most of his opportunity. He played in all 13 games, starting eight and was a second-team All-Sun Belt Conference selection by Pro Football Focus. Wright finished the season with 99 carries for 602 yards and four touchdowns and also caught eight passes for 121 yards and a score. • Wright, a redshirt senior from Jacksonville who could return for a sixth year due to the COVID-19 eligibility ruling, is one of 15 Georgia Southern players on the roster who have graduated. • He opened his 2021 season in grand fashion, rushing for a career-high 178 yards and a touchdown in the win over Gardner-Webb.

Josue tryiNg to Make his faMily proud

• Outside linebacker Benz Josue didn’t take a normal route to playing college football. Born in Port au Prince, Haiti, his family moved to America when he was just a year old. He gravitated to the football field at an early age, but his parents had to work hard to provide for their children. Football was a way to get a college education for Josue. • The youngest of five siblings, Josue credits his parents for instilling the work ethic to drive him to be successful on the field and in life. • The redshirt senior (who could come back for a sixth year due to the COVID-19 ruling) from Lawrenceville graduated in May of 2021 with a degree in multimedia film and production and also helps provide content for GATA Lifestyle and the Georgia Southern football social media accounts. • Two other players on the squad were also born internationally: Darrell Baker Jr. - Panama and Jeremy Smith - Germany.

records that Kelly is the first player in Georgia Southern history to start at all five positions on the offensive line after he started the opening game at right tackle. • The Warner Robins, Georgia, native started five games at right guard, one at left guard and one at center in 2017 while playing 387 offensive snaps. After redshirting in 2018, he started the final four games of 2019 at left tackle and last year he started seven games at left tackle and two at right guard. • He made the move to right tackle in the spring and is listed as the No. 1 right tackle for the Eagles.

true freshMaN seeiNg p.t. at Qb • Cam Ransom is getting experience as a true freshman quarterback for the Eagles this fall after taking an unusual path to Statesboro. • Ransom enrolled at Georgia Southern in the summer and has only been on campus since June. His first time seeing the Statesboro campus was when he reported to school as COVID-19 kept him from visiting Georgia Southern during the recruiting process. • The Lakeland, Florida, native was rated as the No. 46 dual threat quarterback in the country by 247Sports Composite Rankings after throwing for 5,033 yards and 59 touchdowns in his high school career. The 6-3, 215-pounder also ran for 1,226 yards and 18 touchdowns. • Ransom got the start at FAU in the second game of the season, becoming the first lefty quarterback to start for the Eagles since Kenny Robinson, who started 36 games over a four-year career from 1994-97. Ken Burnette is the only other lefty starter in program history, getting the nod in four games in 1987. • Prior to the FAU start, the last true freshman to start

a game at quarterback for the Eagles was Seth Shuman against Louisiana in 2016. He is now a pitcher in the Washington Nationals’ minor league system. • Ransom opened his collegiate career by completing the first seven passes, including a 19-yard touchdown on his first official play. He finished the game with 90 yards on 8-of-13 passing with a touchdown.

and kick returner and could even be used at quarterback to get the ball in his hands. He got the start at quarterback in the opener and has seen action all over the field already, playing 58 total snaps in the opener. • As a star player at Frisco Heritage High in Texas, Jones averaged 126.5 passing yards per game and 130.9 rushing yards per game during his varsity career and was all over the field at Tulane. As a freshman in 2018, playing in now Georgia Southern offensive coordinator Doug Ruse’s offense, he ranked second among all freshman in The American Athletic Conference with 939 all-purpose yards. As a sophomore, he finished the year with 1,611 all-purpose yards, which ranks seventh in Tulane history all-time, fifth that season in the AAC and 22nd nationally. • In the opener, he ran for 98 yards and threw for 45 yards in the win over Gardner-Webb.

the freaks CoMe out at Night

• Since the early 2000s, Bruce Feldman of The Athletic spotlighted the biggest Freaks in college football around this time of year. The premise: Showcase guys who generate buzz inside their programs by displaying the rare physical abilities that wow even those who observe gifted athletes every day. Several Eagles were mentioned in this year’s article. • 36. Darrell Baker Jr., Georgia Southern, cornerbackHe won the 2016 Georgia high school long jump state title, and his hops have only gotten more impressive. Baker, who was third-team All-Sun Belt in 2020, has vertical jumped 43 inches and done 10-11 in the broad jump. He’s also clocked 4.41 in the 40 and timed a 4.18 in the shuttle. NFL scouts must be intrigued by that kind of athleticism in

a 6-1, 199-pound frame with a 6-5 wingspan. You could make a strong case for two other Eagles on this team, running back J.D. King, who power cleans 415 pounds, broad jumps 10-10, verticals 38 inches and also has been known to walk around the football complex on his hands, or outside linebacker Randy Wade, a 6-1, 278-pound special teams demon with a 6-9 wingspan who has run a 4.74 40 and broad jumped 10 feet. Feldman later tweeted: “Baker is a stud. Can see why he’s so intriguing. Ga. Southern, pound-for-pound so to speak, probably has as many freak athletes as anyone in FBS. Had 4 legit guys I could’ve included in this year’s Top 100 with JD King and Randy Wade being the other two.” • 62. C.J. Wright, Georgia Southern, nose tackleThis is the kind of guy we made this list for almost 20 years ago. How many nose tackles can do standing backflips? This dude can. Wright, a second-team All-Sun Belt pick in 2020, played both ways in his first two seasons, including playing running back against Clemson in 2018, when he averaged 5 yards a carry against the Tigers. At 5-11, he’s 278 pounds but has a 6-5 wingspan. He was a high school running back and won state titles in Georgia in both the shot put and the discus. He benches 475 pounds and squats 665. The strength staff won’t allow him to go heavier. He power cleans 385. “He legitimately does freaky things on a daily basis,” says Georgia Southern strength coach Matt Greenhalgh. “He’s the twitchiest athlete I have been around in any weight room.” Greenhalgh, who worked at South Carolina when the Gamecocks had Jadeveon Clowney, has good perspective on Wright’s Freak credentials. “I would absolutely put him in the classification of having the ability to do the things that Clowney would do,” Greenhalgh said. “Where I see him separate is his ability to move extremely heavy weight fast. The bar has more pop on it than anyone I have seen.”

100-yard rushers

• Since the start of the 2018 season, Georgia Southern has had 29 100-yard rushing performances, coming from eight different players. The eight different 100-yard rushers is tied with App State for the most in the conference during that span. • Georgia Southern, App State and Army were the only FBS teams with five different players posting 100-yard rushing games last year: Gerald Green, J.D. King and Shai Werts, and Logan Wright and Wesley Kennedy III. • In 2019, the Eagles led the FBS with six different 100-yard rushers.

the big guy WeariNg #0 • Senior nose tackle C.J. Wright was told he earned the #0 jersey early in the Gardner-Webb game week after a standout preseason. He becomes the second player in program history to wear the number as defensive end Raymond Johnson III wore it last year. Johnson III is now a rookie for the New York Giants. • Thanks to a new NCAA rule allowing the number to be used, head coach Chad Lunsford has used the number to honor a senior defensive lineman who has become a leader for the Eagles and is doing things the right way on the field and in the classroom. • Wright, who was a state champion in shot put and discus in high school, was signed as a nose tackle, but the Sylvania native has proven to be quite versatile on in his career. Wright, who’s listed at 6-0, 285, has seen action on offense, defense and special teams in his career. • He has tallied 14.5 tackles for loss in his career and has even carried the ball seven times for 10 yards with a long of 10 yards at Troy in 2019. He had a career-high 10 tackles at Army West Point in 2020.

• Britton Williams made the most of his opportunity when incumbent kicker Alex Raynor was inactive for the season opener against Gardner-Webb. Williams, a true freshman from nearby Richmond Hill, made all three of his field goals, all three PATs, had two touchbacks on seven kickoffs and even added a tackle on kickoff coverage for good measure. • Williams’ first field goal was a 49-yarder, the longest first made field goal for a kicker in program history. For his efforts, he was voted Sun Belt Conference Special Teams Player of the Week. • Both of Williams’ parents - Jennifer and Darin - attended Georgia Southern. • Williams was a preferred walk-on for the Eagles who committed in December of 2020. He was one of two true freshman walk-ons to earn starting nods for their team’s season opener, joining Bowling Green’s Cade Zimmerly, who started at center for the Falcons against Tennessee. • All three of the key players on the field goal and PAT units are from nearby Chatham County: snapper Mark Langston from Savannah, holder Anthony Beck II from Guyton and Williams from Richmond Hill.

georgia southerN football traditioNs

• Georgia Southern has a rich tradition in the college football world, winning six Division I-AA national titles, but also has traditions that make the program unique.

beautiful eagle Creek

• When Georgia Southern resurrected the football program in 1981, traditions and spirit needed resurrection as well. So legendary head football coach Erk Russell created his own. Inspired by the gnat-infested drainage ditch that cut across the field between what was then the team’s locker room and practice fields, Russell convinced his players that its stagnant water was actually “Beautiful Eagle Creek,” a source of “magical” waters.

freedoM’s flight

• In what has become one of the most popular traditions at GS, “Freedom,” a male American Bald Eagle, takes flight before each home football game. Freedom is a Southern Bald Eagle that was found knocked out of the nest in Maitland, Florida. Only weeks old and appearing like a “brown ball of fuzz”, it was discovered that the young eagle had an injury to its beak and suffered from an infection. Rushed to the Florida Audubon Center for Birds of Prey, Freedom made a complete recovery from the infection but the injury to the beak was permanent, preventing his release into the wild. • With the permission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, GS acquired Freedom in 2004.

yelloW sChool buses

• When the football program was resurrected in 1981, the team needed a way to travel to practices and games. Operating on a shoestring budget didn’t allow for transportation back then, let alone any luxurious travel. • The Bulloch County Board of Education stepped in with a deal the University couldn’t refuse: GS would only pay $1 each for two yellow school buses. The football team still uses buses to this day, taking a lap around campus on game days.

retired NuMbers

• GS has retired two numbers in its football history, No. 3 for Adrian Peterson and No. 8 for Tracy Ham. Both are College Football Hall of Famers and both went to the same high school: Santa Fe in Alachua, Florida. • Peterson, a 2017 CFB Hall of Fame Inductee, is the NCAA Division I all-time leading rusher with 6,559 yards in regular-season contests and was a four-time All-American. He led the Eagles to two national titles. • Ham, a 2007 College Football Hall of Fame Inductee was also inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2010. A first-team All-American in 1986, he led the

Eagles to back-to-back I-AA National Championships. • Both still work in the Georgia Southern Athletics Department: Ham as a Senior Associate AD for Administration and Peterson as the Director of Player Development for the football team.

STATESBORO - Logan Wright ran 26 times for a career-high 177 yards and a touchdown, and Khadry Jackson sealed the win with a sack as Georgia Southern dug out a 30-25 football victory over Gardner-Webb at Paulson Stadium in the season opener for both teams. Trailing by five points, Gardner-Webb got the ball at its own 30-yard line with 2:36 to play. Bailey Fisher, who finished the game with 315 passing yards and three touchdowns, completed two passes to help move the Bulldogs down to the Georgia Southern 29-yard line. The Eagle defense brought the pressure from there as Kierron Smith got to Fisher, and AJ Watkins broke up his pass attempt on first down. Watkins broke free for a 7-yard sack to set up 3rd and 17. Dillon Springer met Fisher for no gain as the quarterback tried to step up in the pocket, and Jackson got home for another sack on fourth down to give the ball back to the Eagles. Amare Jones got the start at quarterback, ran 19 times for 98 yards and completed four passes for 45 yards. Gerald Green posted 72 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries, and Cam Ransom completed 8 of 13 passes for 90 yards and a score in his collegiate debut. Britton Williams made three field goals - including a 49-yard field goal on his first collegiate field goal attempt - and three extra points in his collegiate debut.

BOCA RATON, Fla. - N’Kosi Perry threw for 332 yards and four touchdowns, and FAU scored 38 unanswered points on its way to a 38-6 football win over Georgia Southern in non-conference action at FAU Stadium. GS opened in fine fashion with a 95-yard touchdown drive capped by a 22-yard scoring run by Logan Wright. A missed PAT kept it at 6-0 as the Eagles drove deep again on their second drive. Sam Kenerson came in at quarterback in relief of the injured Cam Ransom and tried to follow his back through a hole and had the ball punched out, where the Owls’ Jordan Helm recovered it at the 11. FAU went on to score 38 straight points to take control of the contest. The dagger came on the Owls’ first possession of the second half when Perry hit Ja’Quan Burton with a 50-yard touchdown pass and a 17-6 FAU lead. Justin Birdsong finished with 10 tackles (eight solo) and a pass breakup to lead the Eagle defense, and Tyler Bride recorded six tackles, including three for loss, and two pass breakups. FAU outgained Georgia Southern 528-254, and the Owls were 10 of 15 on third down. It was the ninth straight home win for the Owls.
