STATESBORO - Ever since the Fall of 2016, the Georgia Southern softball lineup has included a Wilson wearing the familiar No. 7 uniform for the Eagles. It began with Academic All-American Shelby Wilson, who played three seasons for the Eagles, and soon gave way to current all-conference standout Bailee Wilson, who assumed the number in the Fall of 2019 and has played the last three seasons for the Eagles.
To learn of how steeped in the tradition of Georgia Southern the Wilson family is, however, you have to go back further than just the last six years.
