Applewhite on portal: 'We need to get better everywhere'

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. After the transfer portal closed for new entries on May 1, South Alabama had approximately 10 scholarship spots available for 2024. “We're trying to address some of our needs,” first-year Jaguars head coach Major Applewhite said Tuesday prior to a speaking engagement in Mobile. The Jaguars are still looking to bring in multiple offensive linemen and at least one player at wide receiver, on the defensive line, at outside linebacker and at safety, and possibly at quarterback.
