STATESBORO - The Georgia Southern Athletics Department announced Thursday that hats bearing the "EJ40" logo that football staff members have been wearing during games will go on sale and be available for all to purchase. These hats may be purchased at Southern Exchange in Statesboro or through the store's website southernexchangecompany.com.
The hats are in honor of the late Edwin Jackson, who died Feb. 4, 2018 in an automobile accident in Indianapolis. A significant portion of the proceeds from the sales will go to Jackson's Edwin Jackson 53 Foundation. The Eagles have been sporting a "EJ40" sticker on their helmets this season — Jackson wore No.
