The Eagles are entering their third year in the Sun Belt, and already they are off to a good start in 2016. Currently, Georgia Southern has 23 commitments, with seven of them being ranked by ESPN, and is ranked as the 72nd best class in the FBS according to Rivals.com.Other schools in the Sun Belt have lagged behind, including defending champion Arkansas State with two 3-star commits, App State with six and Georgia State with one. While all of the previously mentioned schools have picked up two and three star recruits, one thing sets the Eagles apart from the rest of the pack.
