Top Players Returning
Georgia State will look to replace quarterback Nick Arbuckle after his Conference Player of the Year performance last season. Arbuckle is one of 23 lost lettermen for the Panthers, and one of the eight starters. Georgia State does return 52 lettermen and 16 starters. Without another quarterback getting playing time last year, the Panthers will rely on veteran targets for the starter, including sophomore wide receiver Penny Hart (13 GP, 72-1109 yds, 15.4 avg, 8 TDs). As a true freshman, Hart led the team in receiving yards and touchdowns on their way to the program's first bowl appearance. Joining Hart as targets for the quarterback are senior receiver Robert Davis (13 GP, 61-980 yds, 16.1 avg, 6 TDs) and Keith Rucker (10 GP, 39-522 yds, 13.4 avg, 6 TDs). With the loss of lead-interceptor safety Tarris Batiste (4 INTs, 100 total tackles) and lead-tackler linebacker Joseph Peterson (116 total tackles), the Panthers will rely on senior safety Bobby Baker (13 GP, 76 total tackles, 3 INTs, 1 FF). Baker was third in tackles last season, behind Peterson and Batiste. Baker was also second in interceptions and tied for second in forced fumbles.
