Eastern AD Eric McNelley will step down after seven years in the role. McNelley: “This decision comes as I fully support my wife in her incredible new role as President of MarketSource in Georgia. […] As Athletic Director over the past seven years, I've witnessed transformation beyond anything I could've imagined. From new locker rooms and facility upgrades to launching football, wrestling, esports, cheer and dance, and so much more—what we've built together has been extraordinary. Growing from 280 to over 700 student-athletes reflects more than numbers—it speaks to vision, trust, and relentless teamwork.” (link)
