MGM quarterback Jared Hollins commits to South Alabama

Mary G. Montgomery quarterback Jared Hollins on Sunday became the latest Mobile-area standout to commit to his hometown school.

Hollins has committed to South Alabama, continuing a red-hot streak for the Jaguars. South Alabama now has nine commitments for its 2024 class, seven of which have announced their decision since Friday.

Hollins announced his commitment via Twitter:

The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Hollins is listed as an “athlete” by many recruiting services, but was recruited by South Alabama as a quarterback. A second-team All-Coastal Alabama pick in 2022, he passed for 2,152 yards and 21 touchdowns with just two interceptions for a Vikings team that went 6-5 and reached the playoffs for the first time in 20 years.

He joins Foley offensive lineman Logan Joellenbeck, St. Paul’s offensive lineman Asher Hale and Theodore defensive lineman Kevin Norwood as local players committed to South Alabama for 2024.
