ATLANTA-- Georgia State hosts South Alabama for a Thursday night matchup, to be aired on ESPN2, on Oct. 23 at 7:30 p.m. 

Georgia State and South Alabama are meeting for the 10th time in program history. The Panthers are 5-4 in the series after defeating the Jags 31-14 on the road on Nov. 21, 2020. 

Quarterback Cameran Brown got his first start of the season in last week's matchup. The senior QB went 29-for-38 with 280 passing yards and a career-high 120 rushing yards. 

The starting quarterback position is still up for grabs, with veterans TJ Finley and Cameran Brown in the race. Previously this season, Finley has had the start, with Brown coming in throughout. 

Coach McGee and the Panthers' staff welcomed the largest recruiting class in program history, adding 29 to the early signing class, and 67 total newcomers. 

LEADING THE PACK
Receiver Ted Hurst leads the Panthers through another season, totaling 579 yards on 42 receptions and three touchdowns. The senior notched a career-high 10 receptions and matched his career-high two touchdowns in the win over Murray State (Sept. 13), the best-single game offensive performance for the Panthers so far this season. 

Following directly behind Hurst is Javon Robinson, who leads the Panthers offense with three touchdowns. The junior receiver has accumulated 368 yards on 37 receptions. 

Quickly climbing up the leaderboard on the offense is tight end Camden Overton-Howard, who totals two touchdowns on the season. 

Running back Rashad Amos leads the Panthers' run-game with 242 yards on 54 carries. He scored his first touchdown of the season against Murray State (Sept. 13). 

Freshman TJ Peyton, the Panthers' primary kick returner, leads the Panthers in yards-per-carry, averaging 6.3 and totaling 425 all purpose yards. He ran a career-long 49-yarder at Ole Miss (Aug. 30). 

Quarterback Cameran Brown leads the Panthers in scoring with eight TDs. The dual threat scored Georgia State's first rushing touchdown of the season against Memphis (Sept. 6). He matched his career-high three touchdowns from passes against Murray State (Sept. 13). He leads the Panthers through the air, going 86-for-128 for 882 yards. 

On the defensive side, linebacker Josiah Robinson leads the Panthers with 55 tackles (27 UA), with six tackles for loss, a sack and a fumble recovery. Following closely behind is safety Jaylen Jones with 35 tackles and Jordan Huff with 34 tackles (17 UA), one tackle for loss, an interception and two pass breakups. 

THE QUARTERBACKS' ROOM
Georgia State enters the 2025 season with six quarterbacks in rotation, featuring returner Christian Veilleux, Tulane transfer TJ Finley and Texas Tech transfer Cameran Brown. 

Transfer TJ Finley made his Georgia State Debut as the Panthers' starter in week two against Memphis. In his first game in blue and white, the 6-7 QB went 21-for-29 for 201 yards.  Finley is second in the Panthers' QB room with 816 yards. The veteran QB joined the Panthers' active roster after week one of the season. 

Finley joined the Panthers from Western Kentucky, where he started in three games before being sidelined due to injury.  

Transfer Cameran Brown continues to fight for the starting QB position for the Panthers. Brown leads the Panthers in touchdowns (8) and passing efficiency (67.19).  Brown tied the single-season program record for completion percentage against Murray State (Sept. 13) after going 10-for-12 through the air. 

The redshirt junior completed one passing and one rushing touchdown, and went 8-for-12 for 139 yards, against Memphis (Sept. 6), marking his first two touchdowns of the season. Most recently, Brown had a season-best 280 receiving yards and a career-high 120 rushing yards at Georgia Southern (Oct. 18).
