STATESBORO, Ga. - The start of Georgia Southern football signals the start of a new athletic season, and this year there will be a familiar face in a new position as Danny Reed will officially handle play-by-play duties for football games.
Reed has previous experience with Eagles football starting last year as the sideline reporter. After 10 years as the iconic voice of the Eagles' football team, Chris Blair left for the same position at Louisiana State University (LSU) last winter. Georgia Southern Athletics and its multimedia rights holder, Learfield's Georgia Southern Sports Properties, believed that Reed was the candidate best suited to fill his shoes.
