STATESBORO —For Darin Van Tassel, sports and teamwork have always been an important part of his life. The GS grad said his experiences playing baseball under legendary coach Jack Stallings were some of his greatest memories, aside from meeting his wife on campus, who was a GS swimmer.

For Van Tassell, the memories off the field were as important as the accomplishments on the field.

“Even though [every athlete] can remember every pitch and every play, we can remember our relationships, the players, teammates, and then the University that permitted all of that to happen,” Van Tassell said.
