STATESBORO - Redshirt freshman tight end Aubrey Heath had a chance to represent Georgia Southern on a different national stage when he earned a live audition with American Idol last fall, all while playing football for the Eagles. A self-taught guitar player, Heath started out playing for his friends at school and then at church on Sundays before beginning to write songs from his life experiences.
