JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – The Jacksonville State Football team will open camp on Wednesday as the favorites to win the Ohio Valley Conference, something the team has done the past five years straight. The Gamecocks will open the 2019 campaign on August 29th at home against Southeastern Louisiana.
2018 was a year to remember for former Austin Black Bear Josh Pearson after being named an all-american, and he’s more than ready to get back out there on the field.
“Finally glad that football is back. Everybody loves basketball and baseball but football excitement is totally different and I’m glad it’s here,” said Pearson. “Get to see what our team can do this year, we have high expectations and so hopefully we get to live up to our mean, you know so first day of camp tomorrow we gonna go in and try to set the intensity high and just get better and grow.”
