South Alabama lands another Mobile-area football commitment

South Alabama added yet another commitment to its recent Gulf Coast recruiting run Tuesday afternoon.

The Jaguars secured a commitment from Baker 3-star wide receiver/athlete Khatori Marion.

The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Marion announced his decision on “X.” He’s the sixth Mobile-area commitment for head coach Major Applewhite already in the Class of 2026.

As a junior, Marion caught 29 passes for 452 yards and 5 TDs for the Hornets. He also ran for a touchdown and had 154 yards in punt returns.

The Jaguars are now up to 19 commitments in the class.

Marion joins Mary G. Montgomery DB Trakarris Collier, Cottage Hill DE Caleb Metzner, Spanish Fort QB Aaden Shamburger and the St. Michael duo of WR Brody Jones and RB Noah Moss as local commitments.
