James Clemens defensive end Nathan Jennings commits to South Alabama

Nathan Jennings, a defensive end at James Clemens High School in Madison, has committed to South Alabama.

Jennings (6-foot-5, 240 pounds) chose the Jaguars over a final list of scholarship offers that also included Troy, Arkansas State, Kennesaw State and Georgia Southern. He announced his decision Sunday on Twitter:

Jennings is South Alabama’s 11th verbal commitment for the 2024 class, the eighth from inside the state of Alabama. He hails from the same high school that also produced quarterback Gio Lopez, currently a freshman with the Jaguars.

The early signing period for the 2024 class begins in late December.
