SOUTH ALABAMA JAGUARS PREVIEW 2026 | THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL EXPERIENCE

The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its 138 college football team preview series with the South Alabama Jaguars 2026 Season Preview. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) & Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) break down the 2026 South Alabama Jaguars roster and key in on what we should project from Major Applewhite and the Jaguars in 2026. Should more colleges start up their football program just like South Alabama did in 2009?

Does Major Applewhite deserve a mulligan after last seasons transfer portal losses that happened late in the offseason? Did South Alabama find a gem in Bishop Davenport and can he lead the Jaguars to a bowl game or perhaps a Sun Belt Championship in 2026? Is Keenan Phillips do for a big season in the backfield for South Alabama after the loss of Kentrel Bullock. Who will emerge as the next great South Alabama Jaguars wideout in 2026?

Will the hire of Todd Orlando instantly have a gigantic impact on the defensive side of the ball for the Jaguars? Did the South Alabama Jaguars make a smart move after being attacked in the transfer portal by adding a ton of FCS guys along the defensive line? Is Emmanuel Waller a name to remember at Defensive Tackle for the Jaguars? Is Linebacker the top position unit on the defensive side of the ball going into the 2026 season?

Why should college football fans head out to Hancock Whitney Stadium to catch a South Alabama Jaguars game? Why is it exciting as a football fan to continue to follow South Alabama? Is it Bowl Game or bust for the South Alabama Jaguars in 2026? We talk it all and more on this episode of The College Football Experience.
