STATESBORO – As he enters his third season as an Eagle, veteran Jacob Ferguson has solidified his role as a leader in the D-Line room with Game One on the horizon.
Ferguson attended two schools, the University of Northern Iowa and Iowa Western Community College, prior to Georgia Southern. His time in JUCO established a go-getter mindset, which helped him fit into head coach Clay Helton's system here.
"Coach Helton really emphasizes work ethic, and it's not something you can just flip on like a light switch," Ferguson said. "You can't just say, 'I'm going to work hard now,' and expect it to happen.
