South Alabama on Saturday added its second SEC offensive line transfer for the 2023 season. Jordan Davis, who spent the last two seasons at South Carolina, announced Saturday he was headed to Mobile.

12/12/22 - LaDamian Webb, rSr/2024, South Alabama + More +

South Alabama running back La'Damian Webb was at practice with his teammates on Saturday morning, less than a week after announcing he will return for a second season with the Jaguars in 2023. Webb has rushed for 1,014 yards and 14 touchdowns this season, despite missing one game and parts of two others with various injuries. He seriously considered jumping to pro ball, but ultimately announced on Tuesday that he will play a fifth season of college football next fall. "I had to just think about it," said Webb, who joined South Alabama as a junior-college transfer this January. "I know I wanted to do better this year and had some games where I was hurt, so I didn't get to play a whole, complete season. I thought it would be best if I come back and my family thought it would be best for me to come back."

Webb played in 2019 Jones (Miss.) College, then spent the 2020 season at Florida State. He went back to Jones in 2021 and was an NJCAA All-American before signing with South Alabama. With Webb set to return next season, the Jaguars should bring back close to 20 starters between the offense and defense. He said he's hoping the Jaguars can sustain the success of 2022, when they are 10-2 heading into the Dec. 21 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl vs. Western Kentucky. "It feels great," Webb said. "We've got some work to do - a lot of work to do. You We'll focus on that next year, just continue to get better throughout the year." - Birmingham News
