South Alabama has allowed seven touchdowns of at least 40 yards this season, including this 44-yard catch by Tulane's Jhe'Quan Jackson on Sept. 2. If there’s one most disappointing trend early in 2023 for South Alabama, it’s big plays allowed by the defense.
Howell is back this year, and coming off a three-touchdown performance in a 41-40 loss to Appalachian State a week ago. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Kansas State transfer certainly has South Alabama’s attention this year after torching the Jaguars for nine catches for 244 yards in 2022. ULM quarterback Jiya Wright is also a two-way threat, having rushed for 74 yards in addition to passing for 268 vs. App State a week ago. South Alabama defensive tackle Wy’Kevious Thomas said his team will have to play with more discipline up front against the Warhawks.
South Alabama safety Jaden Voisin will wear the honorary No. 5 jersey on Saturday. A different South Alabama player is awarded the No. 5 jersey each week during the season in honor of Anthony Mostella, a former Jaguars running back who died in a 2010 motorcycle accident. Voisin’s twin brother, South Alabama wide receiver Devin Voisin, wore No. 5 for the season-opener vs. Tulane.
