South Alabama Football starts the first day of spring practice

Mobile, Ala. (Wala) – Spring is in the air, and that means that football is again in South Alabama. The Jaguars met the field for their first training in the spring camp with players and coaches who were applied to dynamics for the coming season.

Many old and new faces took the exercise field for the first spring training of the Jag. The second quarterback from Redshirt, Gio Lopez, returns at the age of three. He comes back from an injury and felt great to get on the field with his team.

“It felt great to just be able to finally do team organized things without a towel. It gets boring, so it was fun to be able to compete with their teammates and see new players that we have, new faces. “

The Jags have a certain depth in this QB room. The redshirt -Junior -Bishop Davenport also returned after an MVP performance in the Bowl game from South Alabama and appeared when Lopez was traveling. Mary G. Montgomery Grad, our former Fox10 player of the year, and redshirt Jared Hollins return to the soccer field after eight seasons in the MLB. The head coach of Jags in the second year, Major Appleewhite, spoke about how important the depth is in this position.

“It is important. After you have done this for a long time, you will play them all. I hate saying that and you are probably late, but the reality is, we played two last year and we were a ankle from the three games, so you have to have all three ready. I was proud of Jared and his operation until January and February and now come out with the ball and take this next step. Bishop did an excellent job. He picked up this performance in the Bowl game. Went through OTAS and spring ball. Today he had another great day. I just have to continue and develop. “

Some other well-known faces, Kentrel Bullock, returns to run back, and McGill tools, Anthony, who plays on wide receiver. Eager can rise in a young, wide recipient room next to Devin Voisin.

“Last year you saw a few sparks at the LSU and so on this level, where we can count on him as well as everyone else. That is the goal for him in spring and show us that we can rely on you at any time. “

Redshirt Junior Cornerback Ricky Fletcher, a starter 2023, has also returned to health after having missed the last season with a back injury.

“It was very difficult to just go out my brothers and perform their performance and know that I could be out there too, but it feels great to be back. Health is perfect, I feel great. “

There are also many new faces on the squad and coaching team, and we will get to know them as the Spring Camp. This is the first of 14 practices this spring. The Jags Spring Game begins on Saturday, April 12th from the Hancock Whitney Stadium.
