Eagle Seniors represent Georgia Southern at Conference Media Day
NEW ORLEANS – Seniors Garrett Frye and Edwin Jackson were today named to the Sun Belt preseason All-Conference second team on offense and defense, respectively. The preseason teams, voted on by both the leagues' coaches and designated media members, feature second-team recognitions for the first time in 2014. Coaches were not permitted to vote for their own players.
Frye, an offensive tackle from South Forsyth, Georgia, has earned All-America honors in each of the last two years and has been a mainstay on the line, starting in the last 25 games. Georgia Southern's offensive line has been a major factor in the Eagles' earning a number-one ranking in NCAA Division I in team rushing average in 2012 and 2013.
Senior linebacker Edwin Jackson joined the Eagles in 2011 as a walkon and last year was the team's top tackler with 92. Starting in all 11 games, the Atlanta, Georgia, native posted a game-high 10 tackles in Georgia Southern's win over Florida in "The Swamp."
Senior quarterback Terrance Broadway of UL Lafayette was selected as the league's preseason Offensive Player of the Year and Qushaun Lee of Arkansas State the preseason Defensive Player of the Year. UL Lafayette, the coaches' unanimous pick to win the Sun Belt Conference this season, had 10 players total named to preseason all-conference teams.
Each offensive and defensive team is comprised of 12 players each. For purposes of offense, an extra wide receiver is listed. For purposes of defense, the next highest vote getter from any defensive position is included.
Both Frye and Jackson will represent Georgia Southern for Sun Belt Media Day on Tuesday, July 22nd at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Fans can submit questions via social media channels twitter, facebook and instagram using #SunBeltMediaDay.
