Scelfo was pleased with the additions Southeastern made during the signing periods and additions through the transfer portal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe feel like we\u2019ve addressed some needs at certain positions, which is important,\u201d Scelfo commented. \u201cBut the best thing we did is added to the culture, by believing in the things we value \u2013 responsibility, accountability and work ethic. All of these young men we\u2019ve brought in have exhibited the character we\u2019re looking for from members of our program, helping ensure continued success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Southeastern made its fourth FCS playoff appearance and finished 19th in the final FCS polls after a 9-4 season in 2025. SLU\u2019s 13-2 Southland Conference record over the past two seasons is the league\u2019s best.<\/p>\n<p>Easley is currently a senior at North Cobb High School, where he is a standout on the football team, as well as a sprinter on the track and field team. His athleticism makes him a great fit for the SLU offense, according to Scelfo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSebastian is a long, tall wideout with great speed,\u201d Scelfo stated. \u201cHe got hurt midway through his senior season, but the rehab process has gone well for him. He\u2019s a dynamic player who we think will cause some matchup problems on the outside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McGee comes to Hammond by way of Copiah-Lincoln Community College, where he finished with nine pass breakups and three interceptions this past fall. McGee prepped at Biloxi High School, playing football, basketball and running track.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDayshawn is a big cornerback with some versatility,\u201d Scelfo said. \u201cWe think he has the ability to play some safety and nickel for us as well. Dayshawn has a lot of maturity and experience and will provide some needed length on the outside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2026 Southeastern Louisiana University Football Signing Class<br \/>Keidrick Bailey Jr. | OL | 6-2 | 290 | Zachary, La. | Zachary HS<br \/>Jiwaun Brock | WR | 5-11 | 165 | Covington, La. | Covington HS<br \/>Gage Brown | DT | 6-3 | 265 | Covington, La. | St. Paul\u2019s HS<br \/>Maddox Caldwell | OL | 6-3 | 295 | Fairhope, Ala. | St. Michael Catholic HS<br \/>Trace Carter | LB | 6-1 | 220 | Ocean Springs, Miss. | Pearl River CC\/Ocean Springs HS<br \/>Cody Corales | RB | 6-0 | 190 | Mandeville, La. | St. Paul\u2019s HS<br \/>Zack Corrigan | OL | 6-5 | 300 | Chilliwack, B.C. | St. Petersburg Catholic HS<br \/>Connor Crisp | DB | 5-11 | 175 | Castroville, Texas | Medina Valley HS<br \/>Lawson Dixon | WR | 5-10 | 180 | Central, La. | University HS<br \/>Frederic Downing Jr. | OL | 6-4 | 300 | Hahnville, La. | Hahnville HS<br \/>Sebastian Easley | WR | 6-3 | 170 | Kennesaw, Ga. | North Cobb HS<br \/>Charlie Grewe | TE | 6-5 | 200 | South Bend, Ind. | St. Joseph HS<br \/>Desmen Jefferson | WR | 5-10 | 175 | Ferriday, La. | Ferriday HS<br \/>Brandt Liuzza | LB | 6-2 | 215 | Amite, La. | Oak Forest Academy<br \/>Dayshawn McGee | DB | 6-2 | 185 | Biloxi, Miss. | Copiah-Lincoln CC\/Biloxi HS<br \/>Bennett Naquin | WR | 6-2 | 190 | Luling, La. | Hahnville HS<br \/>Dylan Post | LB | 6-1 | 225 | Covington, La. | St. Paul\u2019s HS<br \/>Cayden Randall | DB | 6-0 | 190 | Baton Rouge, La. | Woodlawn HS<br \/>Hayden Ray | TE | 6-3 | 260 | Denham Springs, La. | Denham Springs HS<br \/>Wesley Sandefur | OL | 6-3 | 270 | Fairhope, Ala. | Fairhope HS<br \/>Tyler Sharp | LB | 6-1 | 195 | Dothan, Ala. | Dothan HS<br \/>Colton Shaw | DE | 6-4 | 265 | La Ronge, Saskatchewan | St. Petersburg Catholic HS<br \/>Dylan Shelmire | LB | 6-1 | 220 | Zachary, La. | Zachary HS<br \/>Grayson Zepp | OL | 6-3 | 290 | St. Petersburg, Fla. | St. Petersburg HS<\/p>\n<p>Southeastern will open spring practice Feb. 24.
