History
bmlig95 era (2021–present)
2021 Season
The Eagles started playing in the FBS division in 2021, and had an uninspiring 0-12 record, losing all the games in that season. The biggest storyline of the season was the change that occurred at the starting QB position, but, did not have the desired effects.
2022 Season
The second season of the Eagles playing in the FBS had some good news. In this season, they got their first win, and, their first conference win. With the recruits from the 2021 Georgia Southern Eagles football team's class starting to play, and have a lot impact on the game, the Eagles seems to be growing.
