| Wide Receiver Dejon Funderburk |
South
Alabama picks up their 3rd commitment for 2013 class in Washington High senior
Dejon Funderburk.
While
on a visit to South Alabama on Monday, the standout wide receiver gave a verbal
commitment to attend the university and be a member of the Jaguars football
team in 2013.
“It’s
a family atmosphere. Everybody is real friendly, it’s pretty nice over there.”said
Funderburk.
The
Jaguars will become a full-fledged NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision in 2013. The
Jags is a member of the Sun Belt Conference.
Funderburk
was a Pensacola News Journal All-Area selection at athlete after catching 31
passes for 720 yards and seven touchdowns and adding 362 yards and four TDs on
the ground.
Funderburk
also has been offered by several SEC schools, including defending national
champion Alabama. He also holds offers from Clemson, South Carolina, Kentucky
and South Florida.
But
a trip to South Alabama put all of those schools in the rear view mirror, as
immediately Funderburk felt right at home.
The
6-0, 175-pound standout said the Jaguars gave him the option of where he wanted
to play, and his desire is to continue playing on the offensive side of the
ball in college.
Funderburk’s
commitment gives South Alabama three early commitments. He is joined by Tampa
Chamberlain running back Xavier Johnson and Valdosta (Ga.) Lowndes defensive
back Tiquan Lang.
