Georgia Southern senior defensive end, Charrod Taylor is about to play his final game for The Eagles. Those who don't know his story will be inspired. He served in the military before coming to Georgia Southern. He was stationed aboard the U.S.S. Cole when it was attacked by al-Quaida. He witnessed a lot of death and destruction on the ship. He watched the 2000 National Championship Game and decided he wanted to play for The Eagles when he finished his committment.

All Georgia Southern fans are honored to have "Big Swole" as part of the Eagle family. We will miss his leadership.
