11/05/22 - Zach Pyron, rJr/2027, South Alabama, 6-3, 230 (DS#999 QB) + More +

Zach Pyron threw a touchdown pass and ran for a score in his first career start to lift Georgia Tech to a 28-27 victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday. Pyron's 9-yard touchdown run with 3:30 remaining was the game winner, as the Yellow Jackets (4-5, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) rallied from a 27-16 deficit to snap a two-game losing streak. Virginia Tech (2-7, 1-5), which has lost six straight games, turned the ball over three times in the fourth quarter, two of which led to Georgia Tech touchdowns.

The Hokies wasted a chance to put the game away early in the fourth. They led by 11 and were inside the Georgia Tech 10, but Keshawn King fumbled, and Georgia Tech recovered. That led to a 56-yard touchdown pass from Pyron to Nate McCollum with 9:02 remaining that pulled the Yellow Jackets to 27-23 after they failed on the two-point conversion. Pyron accounted for 319 yards in place of injured starter Jeff Sims, who missed his second consecutive game with a sprained foot. Pyron completed 19 of 32 for 253 yards with a touchdown and an interception, and he rushed for 66 yards. Grant Wells threw for 164 yards and rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown for Virginia Tech. - Georgia Tech/AP College Football

11/02/22 - Quentin Wilfawn, rSr/2024, South Alabama, 6-0, 237 (DS#40 OLB) + More +

South Alabama linebacker Quentin Wilfawn is out for the season with a neck injury, coach Kane Wommack said Monday. Wilfawn, a senior from Oxford, Miss., was injured during the Jaguars' 32-31 loss at UCLA on Sept. 17 and has played in just one game since. Since he has played in only four games this season, he could redshirt and return next year, Wommack said. "Quentin Wilfawn will be out for the remainder of the season with a neck issue that's going to require surgery," Wommack said. "He will get that done at a later date. Right now, based off of the games that he has played, he will have eligibility for the 2023 season, which is great."

The 6-foot-1, 240-pound Wilfawn joined the South Alabama program as a junior-college transfer in 2020, and made 12 tackles in seven games that season. He played in 11 games with three starts in 2021, finishing with 45 tackles. Wilfawn was the Jaguars' leading tackler this season at the time of his injury, and finishes with 18 tackles. His starting role has been filled in recent weeks by Trey Kiser, who has 40 tackles, five tackles for loss and two sacks. - Birmingham News

10/15/22 - Bishop Davenport, rJr/2027, South Alabama, 6-2, 210 (DS#21 QB) + More +

Third-string quarterback Bishop Davenport, making his collegiate debut, scored on a 4-yard run in the third quarter to give Utah State the lead for good and the Aggies defeated Colorado State 17-13 on Saturday. Davenport, a true freshman, made his collegiate debut after quarterbacks Cooper Legas (concussion) and Levi Williams (heel) were sidelined in the first half. Davenport led a pair of eight-play drives in the third quarter that ended with Connor Coles' game-tying 48-yard field goal and Davenport's scramble into the end zone. Michael Boyle's 35-yard field goal cut the lead to 17-13 early in the fourth quarter but an interception by Guryan Hall Jr. ended the Rams' final drive.

Legas' 32-yard touchdown pass to Justin McGriff had given Utah State (3-4, 2-1 Mountain West Conference) a 7-3 lead but Avery Morrow's 26-yard run put Colorado State (1-5, 1-1) on top 10-7 at halftime. Calvin Tyler Jr. ran for 129 yards on 24 carries for the Aggies. Colorado State was also going with a third-stringer making his first collegiate start in redshirt freshman walk-on Giles Pooler, who threw for 144 yards. No. 1 quarterback Clay Millen is still out with a shoulder injury and Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi started last week. Morrow had 116 yards on 27 carries. - Utah State/AP College Football

Carter Bradley threw three touchdown passes, Marco Lee ran for two scores and South Alabama beat Louisiana-Monroe 41-34 on Saturday night. Bradley was 25-of-35 passing for 420 yards. Lee carried the ball 15 times for 93 yards rushing. Trailing 20-17 at the break, Bradley threw 20- and 24-yard touchdown passes within the first five minutes of the third quarter.

10/01/22 - Diego Guajardo, rSr/2024, South Alabama, 6-0, 185 (DS#999 K) + More +

Diego Guajardo kicked a 43-yard field goal as time expired and South Alabama gave up a 10-point fourth-quarter lead before the Jaguars beat Louisiana-Lafayette 20-17 Saturday night. Pearse Migl's 1-yard touchdown reception capped a 17-play, 82-yard drive by Louisiana (2-3, 0-2 Sun Belt) that took more than 6 minutes off the clock and tied the score at 17-all with 42 seconds to play. After a touchback on the ensuing kickoff and then two incomplete passes, on third-and-10, La'Damain Webb ran 21 yards to get the Jaguars near midfield.

Two more incomplete passes by Carter Bradley once again brought up third-and-10 before Bradley hit Caullin Lacy for an 11-yard gain and then connected with Jaylen Wayne across the middle for 17 yards before South Alabama called a timeout with 4 seconds left to set up Guajardo's winning kick. Louisiana's Eric Garror returned a punt 69 yards for a score to make it 7-0 midway through the first quarter. Webb scored on a 1-yard run late in the second quarter and Guajardo kicked a 48-yard field goal midway through the third before a Bradley scored on a 3-yard run to make it 17-7 with 12:53 to play.

09/03/22 - Carter Bradley, rSr/2024, South Alabama, 6-3, 213 (DS#14 QB) + More +

Carter Bradley threw for three touchdowns and ran for another in his South Alabama debut and the Jaguars routed FCS Nicholls 48-7 in a season-opener on Saturday night. Bradley, a transfer from Toledo, completed 17 of 25 passes for 260 yards in three quarters. La'Damian Webb had 98 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 18 carries and Jalen Wayne had three receptions for 98 yards with two touchdowns. South Alabama finished with 508 yards total offense. South Alabama, a top-40 defense a year ago, held Nichols to 165 total yards and less than 20 yards in the fourth quarter. Nichols had the No. 4 offense in FCS last season.

Kohen Granier was 15-of-27 passing for 106 yards with an interception for Nicholls. Leading 10-0 in the second quarter, the Jaguars blew the game open with a couple of quick drives. First, USA went 83 yards in four plays, thanks to a 52-yard touchdown pass from Bradley to Wayne. Later in the quarter after the Jaguar defense came up with a 15-yard tackle-for-loss on fourth down, Bradley's 4-yard touchdown run on first down made it 24-0. In the third quarter, the Bradley-to-Wayne connection struck again, for a 37-yard touchdown. - South Alabama/AP College Football

08/17/22 - Damean Bivins, rSr/2025, South Alabama, 6-0, 209 (DS#999 RB) + More +

South Alabama running back Damean Bivins will miss the 2022 season due to a neck/shoulder problem, head coach Kane Wommack said Monday. Bivins, a redshirt sophomore from Pace, Fla., has not practiced with the Jaguars since preseason camp opened Aug. 5. Wommack said Bivins' condition surfaced when doctors were examining him for a shoulder injury suffered at the end of spring practice. "As we were looking at his shoulder, we saw something that was concerning in his shoulder/neck area," Wommack said. "He's likely going to require a surgery, which will put him out for the season."

Bivins, the Florida Class 6A Player of the Year as a senior at Pace High School, has been troubled by injuries since arriving at South Alabama in the fall of 2019. He appeared in three games for the Jaguars as true freshman, rushing for 17 yards on three carries while retaining his redshirt. The 6-foot, 210-pound Bivins broke his foot during a preseason scrimmage in 2020, which caused him to miss all of that season. He re-injured the foot during an offseason workout and needed another round of surgery, which kept him all of 2021 as well. - Birmingham News

08/12/22 - Darrell Luter Jr., rSr/2023, South Alabama, 6-0, 189 (DS#33 CB) + More +

South Alabama returns only one cornerback who saw extensive playing time last season, but Darrell Luter makes for a good starting point. Luter, a senior from Hattiesburg, Miss., was a first-team All-Sun Belt Conference pick last season, when he totaled four interceptions and 10 pass breakups in just 10 games played. He's also a preseason all-conference pick this year, and has been getting All-America and NFL draft buzz heading into his final season with the Jaguars. "One thing about him is, he's very consistent and very conscientious," cornerbacks coach Dwike Wilson said. "He pays attention to detail. And when you do those three things, you can do anything you want to do. He just stayed locked in and doesn't believe the hype. He's in that (playbook) now just as much as he was last year, trying to get better." Luter's rise in terms of national profile the last three years has been nothing short of meteoric.

A no-star recruit at Oak Grove High School, Luter went to Pearl River (Miss.) Community College for two seasons, only one of which he was a starter. Former South Alabama coach Steve Campbell and his staff signed Luter, but he didn't start his first year with the Jaguars either. But since head coach Kane Wommack took over in December 2020, Luter has been a mainstay of the team's "Swarm D." "It's just been a blessing to me," Luter said. "It's a story I can tell the young kids, just believe and trust in the process. It wasn't so easy coming out of high school, it wasn't so easy going to JuCo. It wasn't easy when I started at South, but as long as you believe and trust in the process, God is going to take you where you want to go." - Birmingham News

08/11/22 - Desmond Trotter, rSr/2024, South Alabama, 6-3, 223 (DS#46 QB) + More +

For the third time in four years, South Alabama's starting quarterback competition has carried into fall camp. And for the fourth straight year, Desmond Trotter is one of the participants. The fifth-year junior from Birmingham, continues to battle Toledo transfer Carter Bradley for the Jaguars' No. 1 quarterback job after the competition began in the spring. "Both guys are going to equal reps with the (first-team offense)," head football coach Kane Wommack said Saturday, the second day of South Alabama's 2022 fall camp. "It's something that we all have to learn the first eight days - we're all installing, everybody's doing the same things, whether the 1s, the 2s … heck, we got the 3s and the 4s that are going right now for us. We want to name a quarterback when somebody truly separates themselves and starts taking the ownership of this football team. We are not there yet. But I'd love to be there as soon as possible." After redshirting as a true freshman in 2018, Trotter lost out to Cephus Johnson for the starting job prior to the 2019 season. However, he took over as the starter late in the year and held off junior-college transfer Chance Lovertich in the spring and fall of 2020. - Birmingham News

08/10/22 - Jalen Wayne, rSr/2023, South Alabama, 6-2, 216 (DS#26 WR) + More +

Jalen Wayne has not only inherited the role of South Alabama's No. 1 receiver, he's now its No. 1 Jalen. The sixth-year senior moves into the "Wide Receiver 1? spot vacated by Jalen Tolbert, the 2021 Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Year and a third-round pick of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys. Wayne is the unquestioned veteran of a Jaguars receiver corps that contains plenty of talent and potential, but little proven on-field production.

"Jalen Wayne has become probably the most consistent version of himself that I've seen," South Alabama coach Kane Wommack said. "I've really just seen some maturity and consistency out of him, which is exciting. And then ultimately 'can these young guys make plays as we start adding more and more in install on top of them? And can they make plays? When we simulate game day in the scrimmages and these live competitions and can they can they make those contested catches?' Jalen Wayne and Jalen Tolbert really carried the majority of that load a year ago." The 6-foot-2, 207-pound Wayne - a Mobile native who played at Spanish Fort High School - caught 53 passes for 630 yards last season, second on the team behind only Tolbert's 82 catches and 1,474 yards. The two combined for 49 percent of the Jaguars' receptions and more than 64 percent of their yards. Scouts from the NFL's Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars were on-hand for Saturday's practice. Luter and Wayne are among those on the South Alabama team expected to be NFL draft prospects next April. - Birmingham News
