South Alabama has lost two starters for the 2023 season due to injury.

Wide receiver Devin Voisin has a torn ACL in his left knee, while safety Keith Gallmon has a torn pectoral muscle. Both were injured during the Jaguars’ 35-17 win over Southeastern Louisiana last week and will need season-ending surgery, head coach Kane Wommack said.

Voisin and Gallmon make three key players South Alabama has lost for the season already, after back-up running back and top kickoff returner Braylon McReynolds suffered a broken collarbone in the season-opener vs. Tulane. The Jaguars (1-1) face Oklahoma State (2-0) on Saturday night in Stillwater.

“You truly have to have a ‘next man up’ mentality in football,” Wommack said. “These things happen all the time, the more and more I’m around the game. I don’t know if there really is a rhyme or reason; we had a really healthy fall camp. Come game time, you just hope for the best.”

Voisin, a fifth-year junior, had a breakout 2022 season for the Jaguars with 64 receptions, 867 yards and five touchdowns. He caught five passes for 77 yards and a touchdown through two games this year prior to the injury.

Voisin, whose twin brother, Jaden, is a starting safety for the Jaguars, has at least one season of eligibility remaining. It’s possible he could apply to the NCAA for a medical redshirt and get another year, Wommack said.

“You hurt deeply for him because he works so hard,” Wommack said. “He’s really one of the gold standards of how you’re supposed to practice, how you’re supposed to prepare. And certainly it hurts for us, just to (lose) an experienced player who knows so much about our offense and is a trusted member of our receiving corps. He’s a guy that (quarterback Carter Bradley) really trusts.”

Gallmon, a sixth-year senior, missed the entire 2022 season with a torn left pectoral muscle suffered in a preseason scrimmage. He tore his right pectoral muscle in the first quarter of last week’s game, and will finish the year with one tackle in two games.

A Mobile native who played his high school ball at Mobile Christian, Gallmon was a three-year starter with more than 200 career tackles for the Jaguars prior to his injury last August. He took a redshirt season in 2022, so he would have to apply for a medical redshirt in order to receive a seventh year of eligibility.

“You really hate it for him being a senior and having gone through what he did with the one pec muscle, and now he injures the other one,” Wommack said. “You hurt deeply for guys like that, because he’s worked his tail off to get back and really had a healthy spring and a healthy fall camp. It’s just one of those things where he got hit in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

With Devin Voisin out, Caullin Lacy and Jamaal Pritchett will work as the Jaguars’ top two receivers going forward. Among the candidates to fill the third receiver slot are Memphis transfer Javon Ivory, junior Jay’juan Townsend and true freshman Anthony Eager.

Jalen Jordan is expected to play vs. Oklahoma State after sitting out last week, and would join Jaden Voisin as the starting deep safeties in Gallmon’s absence. Junior Rickey Hyatt, Baylor transfer Mike Harris and Mississippi State transfer Wesley Miller are among those expected to see more playing time as well.

In addition to Voisin and Gallmon, starting left tackle Josh McCulloch will also miss Saturday’s game with a knee injury suffered in practice, which Wommack said is not considered season-ending. Redshirt freshman Jordan Davis, a South Carolina transfer, will fill in at left tackle vs. Oklahoma State.

Kickoff for South Alabama-Oklahoma State is set for 6 p.m., with the game streamed live on ESPN+.
