South Alabama’s run of commitments continued Sunday afternoon with defensive end Achilles Wood of Austin High School in Decatur.

Wood (6-foot-3, 250 pounds) also has scholarship offers from Memphis, UAB and Southern Illinois, among other schools. He was a second-team All-Huntsville Region pick in 2022.

Wood announced his commitment via Twitter:

Wood is South Alabama’s eighth 2024 football commitment, six of which have come since Friday. He joins Goshen running back Jamauri McClure and the Mobile-area trio of offensive linemen Asher Hale (St. Paul’s) and Logan Joellenbeck (Foley) and defensive tackle Kevin Norwood (Theodore) as in-state players pledged to the Jaguars.

The early signing period for high school seniors begins in late December.
