Quad Brown enters the 2021 season as the incumbent starter after leading the Panthers to a 6-4 record in 2020. That part isn’t new – every one of Georgia State’s starting quarterbacks since they’ve joined the FBS ranks have been two-year starters. The wrinkle here is that Quad is still a sophomore.

While Georgia State has recently placed a strong emphasis on running the ball, the Panthers boast a strong receiving corps that is capable of burning opposing defenses at the drop of the hat.

After a record-setting 2019 campaign, Georgia State took somewhat of a step back in the ground game during the 2020 season.

Protecting the quarterback is one of the most important parts of football, and Georgia State has got the talent and stability on the offensive line to do it.

The entire same tight end group is back from 2020, with no additions and not subtractions. So what does that mean as the Panthers begin their 2021 campaign?

Georgia State’s Special Teams unit returns two starters, including 1st team All-Sun Belt placekicker Noel Ruiz.

The cornerback position for Georgia State is defined more by its starters than perhaps any other position on this side of the ball.
