Arguably one of the greatest student-athletes in Delta State history, Michael Eubanks has tirelessly dedicated himself to his studies while establishing himself as one of the nation's elite on the gridiron. 

A three-time All-Gulf South Conference Academic Team selection, Eubanks has spent eight consecutive semesters on the DSU President's List. He has also been named to the All-GSC Academic Honor Roll three times and was an ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America pick last season. A Biology major, with a minor in Chemistry, he plans to attend medical school and eventually hopes to improve the health conditions of underprivileged women. 

Hailing from Cleveland, Miss., Eubanks is a two-time All-America pick and the reigning Gulf South Conference Defensive Player of the Year. This season, he established school and conference records for career sacks (30.5) and tackles for a loss (53.5) and earned GSC Player of the Week honors for his stellar performance against Arkansas Tech. 

Active within the community, he is a mentor reader for the Cleveland School District and serves as a youth group director and musician at his church. 

Eubanks is the first NFF National Scholar-Athlete in DSU history. He received his Ed.S from William Carey University and is currently a chemistry teacher in the Hattiesburg Public School District (Miss.)
