Jack Brooks, in his fourth season as South Alabama’s primary punter, is 29 years old and would be the rare 30-year-old college football player if he elects to come back for a fifth year in 2023.
Brooks is actually closer in age to head coach South Alabama Kane Wommack — who is 35 — than most of his teammates. He’s not quite enough to be their father, but it’s close.
Brooks has averaged a steady 42.3 yards per punt in his South Alabama career, averaging between 41.7 and 43.1 each season. That dependability led Wommack to reward him this week with the honorary No. 5 jersey, which he’ll wear Saturday when the Jaguars travel to Arkansas State . The No. 5 jersey is awarded each week to a different South Alabama player in honor of Anthony Mostella, a former Jaguars running back who died in a 2010 motorcycle accident. Previous awardees this season are safety Keith Gallmon , cornerback Darrell Luter , center James Jackson , wide receiver Jalen Wayne , quarterback Desmond Trotter , safety Yam Banks and quarterback Carter Bradley .
“But that’s in every phase, whether it’s in the passing game and the quarterback’s eyes and pocket presence. It’s on the receiver and how he is running the route. Those are the things that you go back and look at after a loss and examine more closely than you do after a win. Those are some things that we need to clean up, and a good defense like that is going to expose those things that we talked about. Everybody took a turn in terms of the ten possessions that we had.
Blackman, a Florida State transfer, has thrown for 1,695 yards and 11 touchdowns with just one interception this year. AJ Mayer started in Blackman’s place last week and went 8-for-23 for 155 yards and a touchdown with an interception before he was also injured and true freshman Jaxson Dailey finished things up in the Red Wolves’ 38-18 loss.
