STATESBORO - When over 100 All-Americans, several national award winners, multiple conference players of the year, dozens of professional players and two College Football Hall of Famers have suited up to play for the Eagles, narrowing down a list of the best players of the past 40 years was never going to be easy.
As the 40th season of modern football in Statesboro kicks off on Saturday, the Georgia Southern Department of Athletics and the EFAA tasked the members of Eagle Nation to cast their vote for members of the 40th Anniversary Team. Each week, new position groups with new eligible players were announced and thousands of votes were cast each time.
