In-state quarterback: Georgia Southern is 'special'

As Georgia Southern continues to heavily pursue a quarterback in the class of 2026, the program has extended more than a dozen offers at the position. Among the long list of quarterbacks to hold an offer from the Eagles is Kell (GA) signal caller Kaleb Narcisse, marking his first scholarship at the FBS level.

"Georgia Southern is special to me because it was my first FBS offer," Narcisse said. "The relationship I have built with the coaches is good."

The 6-foot-1, 210-pound junior was a prolific passer for an electrifying Longhorn offense, throwing for 2,168 yards and 22 touchdowns to just seven interceptions with another 427 yards and six scores coming on the ground. The Eagles' pass-heavy offense has unsurprisingly drawn the attention of a number of quarterbacks, Narcisse included.

"Georgia Southern has continued to improve each and every year for the past few years," Narcisse said. "Their air raid offense intrigues me. (It) stands out to me as a system I can best show my skillset and play to my strengths."

Alongside Penn and West Georgia, Narcisse has remained in constant communication with the Eagles — something that has stuck with him throughout the early stages of his recruitment. This — along with other factors, such as the Eagles extending his first FBS scholarship offer — should give Georgia Southern a leg up in their pursuit of the talented quarterback.

"I'm impressed with the communication I have received from them early on in my recruiting process," Narcisse said. "The coaches have expressed how I would fit in their system and I'm really impressed with their program."

While Narcisse is also a star on the Longhorns' baseball program, he is hopeful to find an open weekend in the spring to make a visit. However, it is almost a guarantee that Narcisse and his family will make the trip to Statesboro for a game in the fall.
