STATESBORO - Georgia Southern head rifle coach Sandra Worman announced Monday the addition of Gabby Morrow to the 2019-20 Eagle roster. Morrow, who hails from Locust Grove, Georgia, signed her offer letter and will enroll at Georgia Southern in the fall. She joins Faye Bryans, Lilly Herring and Ashley Judson, who were all announced in the fall, and Amelia Pierce who was announced last month, as new additions to the roster.

"I am thrilled to add some of that fine Georgia talent that flourishes so well at Georgia Southern," Worman said. "Gabby is a talented shooter with much promise, and she rounds out the freshman squad as the puzzle piece we were missing."
