Benko Meets Eagle Nation

STATESBORO - It was a busy 24 hours for new Georgia Southern Director of Athletics Jared Benko as he and his family were officially introduced to Eagle Nation Monday at a series of events and gatherings.

Benko, flanked by his wife Sarah and boys Hudson and Cooper, flew into Statesboro Regional Airport Monday evening to the greeting of the Southern Pride Marching Band, GS Cheer and GUS. Already decked out in their finest Georgia Southern gear, University President Kyle Marrero welcomed them to Statesboro with all the pomp and circumstance worthy of such a notable hire.
