BIOGRAPHY

The University of South Alabama will be represented in the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season by the exhilarating South Alabama Jaguars football team. This team holds membership in the reputable Sun Belt Conference. The games will resonate within the local community as they are to be held within the confines of the Hancock Whitney Stadium located in the heart of Mobile, Alabama.

The helm of the Jaguar’s team will be manned by Major Applewhite who is set to take on his first year as their head coach. This will be an interesting season as Applewhite has stepped into the gigantic shoes of former South Alabama head coach, Kane Wommack, who was scooped up by Alabama to fill the role of a defensive coordinator.

An event to remember would be the unexpected scoring of 87 points by the team during their game against Northwestern State on the 12th of September, 2024. This impeccable effort notched a historical position for them being the highest scoring FBS team stretching back to a run that commenced in 1991.

Considering the Jaguar’s performance, keeping in mind their impressive scoring history, the Jaguars found themselves positioned at the fifth place in the West division. This was announced as a part of the preseason coaches’ poll for the approaching Sun Belt season. A notable mention would be the defensive back Jaden Voisin, who was awarded a place in the All-Sun Belt first-team defense in the preseason.

Wide receiver Jamaal Pritchett and defensive lineman, Wy’Kevious Thomas also made waves within the team being named second team offense and defense respectively.

The schedule for the upcoming football season was announced on March 1, 2024, which included matches to be held at various stadiums. Among these stadiums are noteworthy ones like Peden Stadium in Athens, OH, Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone, NC Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, LA, and Centennial Bank Stadium, Jonesboro, AR.

An unforgettable moment of the season occurred during a game held at the home ground, Hancock Whitney Stadium. The Jaguars led the scoreboard with an overpowering 80–10 by the end of the third quarter, which led to the decision to shorten the fourth quarter to a span of only six minutes.

Other essential matches of the season include those against opponents at Cajun Field, Lafayette, LA, M. M. Roberts Stadium, Hattiesburg, MS, and their home ground at Hancock Whitney Stadium, Mobile, AL bringing the season full circle.

The buzz around the 2024 South Alabama Jaguars’ football team is electrifying, creating an atmosphere of anticipation and excitement. It will undeniably be an exhilarating football season for all Jaguar fans, players, and the coaching faculty under Major Applewhite.
