While the 2021 football season was a rocky one for Georgia Southern (to put it mildly), the Eagles and new coach Clay Helton were able to put together a fairly impressive class considering Helton had overall little time to network, having accepted the job just two months ago.

To start off, quarterback was a focus in this year’s class, as the Eagles inked a pair of signal-callers from within the state of Georgia, presumably with the position wide open heading into next season.
