Ex-Mary G. Montgomery standout took long path to first-team role with Jaguars
Former walk-on Christopher Wallace is expected to start at safety for South Alabama on Saturday vs. North Texas. Christopher Wallace is expected to start at Rover safety for South Alabama on Saturday, and to say he took a non-traditional path to his current position is underselling it just a bit.
Wallace graduated from MGM in 2020, at the height of the COVID pandemic. He spent a semester at Bishop State Community College getting his academics in order before trying out at three Mississippi junior colleges — Mississippi Gulf Coast, East Mississippi and Jones. Wallace didn’t get any game reps on defense as a freshman in 2022, but was ahead of several scholarship players in the practice rotation at cornerback. He played in eight games on special teams that season, then appeared in all 13 games at safety and on kickoff and punt coverage teams in 2023, finishing with six tackles.
Wallace’s father, Christopher Sr., played football at North Alabama in the late 1980s, a full half-decade before his namesake rapper came onto the national scene. Nevertheless, it made for some funny moments during his school days, the younger Wallace said.
