South Alabama picks up it’s ninth commitment for 2013 in Devon Earl


Safety Devon Earl

Hoover safety Devon Earl has verbally committed to become a member of the South Alabama football program. The 5’11, 195lb senior becomes the ninth Jaguar commitment for the 2013 signing class.

Devon Earl was selected as the 2012 Birmingham News Hoover Area Athlete of the Year.

Earl said he looks forward to having the opportunity to compete for playing time.

Earl had scholarship offers from Troy, UAB and Southern Miss and was also recruited by Middle Tennessee, Louisiana-Lafayette and Georgia State.

"I just felt like South would be a better place for me," Earl said. "I just really liked the Mobile area. Going down there, the water being there, you just can't not go there."
