Jaguars have 2 portal commitments thus far, will add several more
South Alabama's Major Applewhite enters his first season as head coach after three years as offensive coordinator under Kane Wommack. There are roughly three weeks remaining before South Alabama begins summer football workouts, but there are still several holes to fill on the Jaguars’ 2024 roster.
Things have definitely changed from a year ago, when South Alabama returned 20 starters from a 10-3 team and then-head coach Kane Wommack used the portal mostly to add depth. This time around, the Jaguars return only nine starters from a team that went 7-6 in 2023. “What stood out the most is honestly, just the glaring holes in terms of what we’ve got to replace from a portal standpoint,” Applewhite said of his post-spring assessment. “When you lose three guys in the portal before your bowl game and you kick off two offensive linemen, you five players from your team, and so you naturally put yourself behind the 8-ball in terms of getting back some of those numbers. And you’ve done that without knowing how this portal cycle is gonna be.
“Unless you’ve got a whole bunch of dough, that’s the way it goes,” Applewhite said. “… I wish I could say something different, but unless your pocketbook’s fat, people can come buy players from you.”
