South Alabama put a cap on its 2025 football recruiting class with a pair of high school signees on Wednesday, announcing the additions of Baldwin County wide receiver Ti Mims and Mississippi tight end Maddox Lynch.

Mims and Lynch join a Jaguars class that includes 12 players who signed in December, as well as 13 more who joined the program as mid-year transfers in January. The final total includes 12 high school signees, 12 four-year transfers and three junior-college transfers.

“We’re excited about the group of guys we’re bringing in this year,” head coach Major Applewhite said. “I think we found a good balance of high school and transfer talent. For the most part, we have what we need, but recruiting never stops, so we’ll see if we can continue to add some quality pieces.”

The 5-foot-11, 170-pound Mims is rated a 3-star prospect by 247 Sports and played in the AHSAA North-South All-Star Game in Mobile in December. He was a second-team all-state pick in 2024, when he totaled 558 yards and eight touchdowns combined rushing and receiving despite missing two games due to injury.

Lynch (6-4, 230) was a first-team all-state pick in Mississippi in 2024, catching 42 passes for 459 yards and three touchdowns while playing both tight end and wide receiver at Warren Central, a Class 6A program. He played in the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic in 2024, catching a 33-yard touchdown pass from Auburn signee Deuce Knight during the game.

South Alabama also officially announced the addition of its mid-year transfer class, the details of which had been previously reported by AL.com. The group includes wide receiver Brendan Jenkins of Samford, tight end Miller McCrumby of Arkansas State, offensive linemen Leavy Johnson of Western Kentucky, Ni Mansell of South Carolina and Amaury Wiggins of Arkansas, defensive end Tirrell Johnson of Harding, linebackers Caleb Dozier of Georgia Tech and Tre’Mon Henry of Southern Miss, cornerback Jayvon Henderson of East Tennessee State and safeties Anthony Brown of Purdue, Tywon Wray of Oklahoma State and Dallas Young of Arkansas.

Also officially on-board is running back Keenan Phillips of Georgia Military College, who has enrolled in classes and will participate in spring practice. He joins two December junior-college signees who also are already enrolled, tight end Brec Long of Coffeyville (Kan.) CC and defensive lineman Dominic Wiseman of Iowa Western.

South Alabama finished 7-6 in 2024, its first season with Applewhite as head coach. The Jaguars beat Western Michigan 30-23 in the Salute to Veterans Bowl, their second straight postseason win.
