Second preseason scrimmage shows potential for Eagle football

The Georgia Southern football team showed to be successful on both sides of the ball at their second preseason scrimmage on Saturday.

This being their first time competing in front of a crowd since camp started, the team definitely showed out. Offense put up seven scoring plays, while the defense managed four sacks and forced a fumble.

A defensive name that stood out was redshirt-sophomore ILB Reynard Ellis. Ellis played his freshman year at Furman, but transferred to GS last season. Per NCAA rules the linebacker had to sit out his first season as an Eagle. This being his first season eligible, Ellis has already stepped up and done great things on and off the field.
