Top Players Returning
The Jaguars have 41 letterwinners returning from the previous season, while also losing 27 letterwinners. Head coach Joey Jones loses six offensive and five defensive players, including leading passer Cody Clements and leading tackler Blake Dees. South Alabama will look to lean on the experience of 13 returning starters, especially key players such as last season's leading rusher Xavier Johnson (12 GP, 145-956 yds, 6.6 avg, 7 TDs). New sophomore quarterback Dallas Davis needs a big target and senior tight end Gerald Everett (12 GP, 41-575 yds, 14.0 avg, 8 TDs) returns having led the team in receiving yards, while accounting for over half the receiving touchdowns. The defense will look to junior cornerback Jeremy Reaves (96 total tackles) and senior cornerback Kalen Jackson (72 total tackles) as they are the leading statistical defenders.
