If Saturday was Shai Werts last game as a Georgia Southern Eagle it was a fitting finale for a player who has meant so much to Eagle Nation, and the Georgia Southern football program. Where he ranks in the history of Georgia Southern football is something that can be argued about on message boards, but there is no arguing his importance this season, and what he has meant for the Eagles to rebound from back-to-back losing seasons. Werts joins Tracy Ham and Raymond Gross as the only quarterbacks to have started in all four of their seasons at Georgia Southern.
