South Alabama gets football commitment from Louisiana prep receiver

South Alabama on Monday added a football verbal commitment from Louisiana high school wide receiver Jarvis Washington.

The 6-foot-5, 195-pound Washington, from The Dunham School in Baton Rouge, is the Jaguars’ 19th commitment for the Class of 2026. He was an honorable mention all-state selection in 2024, when he totaled 52 receptions for 976 yards and 10 touchdowns while leading his team to a 14-1 record and a state runner-up finish.

Washington also has scholarship offers from McNeese, Nicholls, Southeastern Louisiana and Grambling State, among other schools. He made his announcement via social media on Monday:

Washington is the fifth wide receiver among South Alabama’s 2026 commitments, a group that also includes McDonogh 35 (New Orleans) standout Heij Jackson. Another Jaguars commitment from Louisiana, offensive lineman Sami Abdelhak, announced last week he was re-opening his recruitment.

The early signing period for the Class of 2026 begins on Dec. 2.
