If you are not aware of who Eddie George is, than you are not a true Ohio State football fan. Just to provide a brief recap, George is one of the greatest running backs in college football history who earned the Heisman Trophy in 1995 along with the Walter Camp Award, Maxwell Award, Doak Walker Award, the Big Ten Most Valuable Player Award, and of course, All-American honors.
As many are aware, George went onto a very successful NFL career, where a majority of it was spent with the Tennessee Titans. Apparently,
George is going to attempt to repeat that success as new head coach of the Tennessee State Tigers.
The Tigers compete in the Ohio Valley Conference and are currently 2-4 and in the middle of their spring schedule. The pandemic forced them to reschedule their season from the fall, but they will be back playing in the fall of 2021. George will actually face off against another former NFL star on September 11th in Deion Sanders, who is now in his first season as head man with Jackson State.
