Georgia Southern’s Helton to speak at Touchdown Club

          Third-year Georgia Southern head coach Clay Helton is Monday night’s speaker at the Macon Touchdown Club.
            The club meets at the Methodist Home for Children and Youth, in the Rumford Center, at 304 Pierce Ave. It starts at 6:30 p.m. with dinner and the program to begin around 7. Admission for non-members is $30. Membership for the year is $250.
            It will be Helton’s fourth visit to the club since he was named as the Eagles’ head coach last November of 2021, almost two months after being dismissed at Southern Cal. He spoke about two weeks after being hired in Statesboro, in his first public appearance.
            The Eagles are 3-2 overall and 1-0 in the Sun Belt after Saturday’s 38-21 win over Georgia State at Center Parc Stadium in Atlanta. He is 15-16 at Georgia Southern, 61-40 overall in eight seasons.
            Helton was head coach at Southern California for six seasons, and a game as interim in 2013 and the first two games of 2021.
            He has a background in the South, as a Gainesville, Fla. native who played at Auburn and Houston. He was at Duke, Houston, and Memphis from 1995-2009, working with running backs, wideouts, and quarterbacks.
            The Eagles have a slew of Central Georgians on the roster: WR Marcus Sanders Jr., Macon County, Jr.; TE Tyler Fromm, Warner Robins, Gr.; QB Dexter Williams, Mount de Sales, Sr.; DB Jaquari Brown, Houston County, Fr.; WR Carmelo Mayes, Southwest, Fr.; DB Dorrian Smith, Peach County, Jr.; WR Deuce Petty, Warner Robins, Jr.; LB Demarcious Robinson, Warner Robins, Jr.; LB Brandon Alford, Mary Persons, Fr.; TE Khai Isaac, Warner Robins, Fr.; OL Chandler Strong, Houston County, So.; OL Caelan Williams, Trinity Christian, Sr.; OL Weston Wallace, Gatewood, Sr.
            Kennesaw State’s Brian Bohannon is next week’s speaker, followed by Fort Valley State head coach Shawn Gibbs.
