  South Alabama running back Damean Bivins will miss the 2022 season due to a neck/shoulder problem, head coach Kane Wommack said Monday. Bivins, a redshirt sophomore from Pace, Fla., has not practiced with the Jaguars since preseason camp opened Aug. 5. Wommack said Bivins' condition surfaced when doctors were examining him for a shoulder injury suffered at the end of spring practice. "As we were looking at his shoulder, we saw something that was concerning in his shoulder/neck area," Wommack said. "He's likely going to require a surgery, which will put him out for the season."

Bivins, the Florida Class 6A Player of the Year as a senior at Pace High School, has been troubled by injuries since arriving at South Alabama in the fall of 2019. He appeared in three games for the Jaguars as true freshman, rushing for 17 yards on three carries while retaining his redshirt. The 6-foot, 210-pound Bivins broke his foot during a preseason scrimmage in 2020, which caused him to miss all of that season. He re-injured the foot during an offseason workout and needed another round of surgery, which kept him all of 2021 as well. - Birmingham News

  South Alabama returns only one cornerback who saw extensive playing time last season, but Darrell Luter makes for a good starting point. Luter, a senior from Hattiesburg, Miss., was a first-team All-Sun Belt Conference pick last season, when he totaled four interceptions and 10 pass breakups in just 10 games played. He's also a preseason all-conference pick this year, and has been getting All-America and NFL draft buzz heading into his final season with the Jaguars. "One thing about him is, he's very consistent and very conscientious," cornerbacks coach Dwike Wilson said. "He pays attention to detail. And when you do those three things, you can do anything you want to do. He just stayed locked in and doesn't believe the hype. He's in that (playbook) now just as much as he was last year, trying to get better." Luter's rise in terms of national profile the last three years has been nothing short of meteoric.

A no-star recruit at Oak Grove High School, Luter went to Pearl River (Miss.) Community College for two seasons, only one of which he was a starter. Former South Alabama coach Steve Campbell and his staff signed Luter, but he didn't start his first year with the Jaguars either. But since head coach Kane Wommack took over in December 2020, Luter has been a mainstay of the team's "Swarm D." "It's just been a blessing to me," Luter said. "It's a story I can tell the young kids, just believe and trust in the process. It wasn't so easy coming out of high school, it wasn't so easy going to JuCo. It wasn't easy when I started at South, but as long as you believe and trust in the process, God is going to take you where you want to go." - Birmingham News

  For the third time in four years, South Alabama's starting quarterback competition has carried into fall camp. And for the fourth straight year, Desmond Trotter is one of the participants. The fifth-year junior from Birmingham, continues to battle Toledo transfer Carter Bradley for the Jaguars' No. 1 quarterback job after the competition began in the spring. "Both guys are going to equal reps with the (first-team offense)," head football coach Kane Wommack said Saturday, the second day of South Alabama's 2022 fall camp. "It's something that we all have to learn the first eight days - we're all installing, everybody's doing the same things, whether the 1s, the 2s … heck, we got the 3s and the 4s that are going right now for us. We want to name a quarterback when somebody truly separates themselves and starts taking the ownership of this football team. We are not there yet. But I'd love to be there as soon as possible." After redshirting as a true freshman in 2018, Trotter lost out to Cephus Johnson for the starting job prior to the 2019 season. However, he took over as the starter late in the year and held off junior-college transfer Chance Lovertich in the spring and fall of 2020. - Birmingham News

  Jalen Wayne has not only inherited the role of South Alabama's No. 1 receiver, he's now its No. 1 Jalen. The sixth-year senior moves into the "Wide Receiver 1? spot vacated by Jalen Tolbert, the 2021 Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Year and a third-round pick of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys. Wayne is the unquestioned veteran of a Jaguars receiver corps that contains plenty of talent and potential, but little proven on-field production.

"Jalen Wayne has become probably the most consistent version of himself that I've seen," South Alabama coach Kane Wommack said. "I've really just seen some maturity and consistency out of him, which is exciting. And then ultimately 'can these young guys make plays as we start adding more and more in install on top of them? And can they make plays? When we simulate game day in the scrimmages and these live competitions and can they can they make those contested catches?' Jalen Wayne and Jalen Tolbert really carried the majority of that load a year ago." The 6-foot-2, 207-pound Wayne - a Mobile native who played at Spanish Fort High School - caught 53 passes for 630 yards last season, second on the team behind only Tolbert's 82 catches and 1,474 yards. The two combined for 49 percent of the Jaguars' receptions and more than 64 percent of their yards. Scouts from the NFL's Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars were on-hand for Saturday's practice. Luter and Wayne are among those on the South Alabama team expected to be NFL draft prospects next April. - Birmingham News

  South Alabama on Wednesday added a Division I transfer for 2022, as former Kentucky safety Rickey Hyatt officially joined the program. Hyatt, originally from Columbus, Ohio, totaled one tackle in two games of action as a redshirt freshman for the Wildcats in 2021. He will have four seasons of eligibility at South Alabama beginning this fall. The 6-foot-2, 203-pound Hyatt was a three-star recruit in the 2020 class out of Westerville (Ohio) Central High School. He re-joins former Kentucky teammate Allen Dailey, who transferred to South Alabama last season. Hyatt is the eighth Division I transfer to join the South Alabama program since the end of spring practice, and 17th since the end of the 2021 season. - Birmingham News

  Former Kansas State safety Marvin "M.J." Martin has committed to South Alabama as a Division I transfer, AL.com has confirmed. The 6-foot, 191-pound Martin played in nine games for the Wildcats as a true freshman in 2021, leaving him with three seasons of eligibility. He totaled five tackles for Kansas State on defense and special teams and returned a blocked punt for a touchdown against West Virginia. Martin is the third Division I transfer to commit to the Jaguars in the current cycle, joining running backs Omni Wells (Mississippi State) and Marco Lee (Virginia Tech). Martin joins a South Alabama safety group that brings back starters Keith Gallmon at free safety and Yam Banks at Husky (nickel), and saw CJ Thompson finish the spring as the starter at Rover. Veteran backup Doug Sullivan also returns, while Ole Miss transfer Jalen Jordan enrolled in January and participated in spring practice. - AL.com

  South Alabama signed nine Division I transfers in December and January, all of whom were enrolled for spring practice. That group consisted of quarterback Carter Bradley (Toledo), tight end DJ Thomas (Ole Miss), offensive guard Dontae Lucas (Florida State), defensive linemen C.J. Person (Indiana) and Daniel Foster-Allen (Auburn), linebackers James Miller and D.K. Bonhomme (both Indiana), cornerback Jamar Richardson (Ole Miss) and safety Jalen Jordan (Ole Miss). South Alabama is expected to add a half-dozen or more Division I transfers this month. Sunday was the deadline for Division I football players to enter the NCAA transfer portal and retain eligibility for 2022. - Birmingham News

  South Alabama safety Keon Voisin has left the team to enter the NCAA transfer portal, he announced Tuesday. Voisin, who has two seasons of eligibility remaining, played in 28 games with three starts the last three seasons for the Jaguars. The Crestview, Fla., native totaled 12 tackles, three pass breakups and a fumble recovery during his career. Voisin was troubled by injuries for much of the 2021 season and in the spring of 2022. He was the backup Husky (nickel) safety behind starter Yam Banks in 2021, but senior Patrick Rosette took over that role this past spring. Voisin is the second South Alabama player to announce plans to transfer since the end of spring practice, following reserver cornerback Ryan Melton. - Birmingham News

  Another Kansas State football defender has decided to transfer and attempt to play immediately elsewhere next season. Marvin Martin, a 6-foot and 191-pound defensive back who appeared in nine games for the Wildcats last season, announced on Thursday that he will hit the reset button on his college career after finishing up spring practice in Manhattan. Most fans will remember Martin, a sophomore, for the touchdown he scored against West Virginia last season when he returned a blocked punt seven yards and then wildly celebrated with his teammates. Martin produced for K-State on both defense and special teams last season, ending the year with five tackles.

Some thought he would take on a more meaningful role in K-State's secondary next season. Defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman described Martin as a player who "flashed" talent throughout spring practice. But a productive future at K-State is no longer in the cards. His departure leaves K-State football coach Chris Klieman with another unexpected scholarship to use heading into the 2022 season. Adding depth on defense will likely be one of his top priorities. The Wildcats have lost a handful of defenders to the NCAA transfer portal this month, as players look to beat the May 1 deadline for players to switch schools and remain eligible to play immediately next season. - Manhattan Mercury
