Eagles Named All Americans

Two Georgia Southern University football players were named Preseason All-America by the College Sporting News. Junior Brandon Jackson was named Second Team while senior Jayson Foster landed Third Team honors. Jackson, who earlier this summer was chosen as one of the top cornerbacks in the nation led the Southern Conference with five interceptions last year. He also broke up four passes while recording 35 tackles. Foster earned his Preseason All-America status as a return specialist. Foster already shares the Georgia Southern season records for punt returns and kickoff returns for a touchdowns, and career record for punt returns.
