For Georgia Southern's option ground attack, passing attempts are few and far between. While often overlooking talented pass catchers, at tight end the Eagles have a good one. Redshirt-senior tight end Ellis Richardson has had an up and down year for the Eagles.

He had two touchdowns on Senior Day against Troy, but the game resulted in a loss.

“It’s always good to score a couple touchdowns, but in the end it wasn’t enough to win us the game,” Richardson said.
