STATESBORO - Georgia Southern's Women's Soccer program announced today the addition of three athletes to the Eagles, beginning in Fall 2020.
Kennedy Jackson (Mountain View High School/Gwinnett Soccer Academy), Katie Jebavy (West Forsyth High School/Atlanta Fire United) and Taylor Oden (Campbell High School/TopHat Soccer Club) signed their National Letter of Intent on Wednesday.
"It's very exciting to be announcing our future Eagles this week," Head Coach
Josh Moffet said. "I believe all of them will bring something special and unique to not just our program but to Eagle Nation as a whole. It's been a real pleasure going through the recruitment process with them and their families. For us here at Georgia Southern it's a lot more than just recruiting the right soccer players, but bringing in the right people who are an asset, not just on the field, but in the classroom and in the Eagle community. We're very excited for the bright future ahead, and we are excited to be welcoming them to Eagle Nation!"
