VETERAN: Georgia Southern Eagles using Experience to COMPETE for Sun Belt Title Under Helton

Georgia Southern Eagles double down on experience—can Clay Helton’s veteran squad break through to a Sun Belt title in 2026? Quarterback Max Johnson’s eligibility raises eyebrows amid new NCAA age rules, but Helton is confident his team’s seasoned roster and fresh defensive mindset will set them apart. Host Dave Schultz spotlights Georgia Southern’s resilience after a tough West Coast road swing, Cam Brown’s breakout season and the defense’s revitalization under new coordinator Mike Moots. The conversation covers bowl rivalry wins, the strategic addition of Louisiana Tech to the Sun Belt schedule, and Helton’s recruiting approach in the NIL era. Can the Eagles ride their defensive upgrades and depth to a spot in the College Football Playoff? Helton shares his insights on the ever-changing landscape of college football and why Georgia Southern might be the team to watch this season.
