Bishop Davenport - Not starting Saturday Davenport (undisclosed) is not South Alabama's starting quarterback Saturday at Kentucky, Creg Stephenson of AL.com reports.

PJ Martin - Scores again in win Martin recorded 21 rushes for 80 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-36 win over Ohio.

Impact Martin now has a touchdown in each of the Jaguars' first three games, and though this is a crowded backfield with Keenan Phillips and Trae'von Dunbar also getting lots of touches, South Alabama is proving it has the ability to sustain multiple productive backs in this offense.

Traevon Dunbar - Two scores in big win Dunbar totaled six rushes for 52 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 41-36 victory versus Ohio.

Impact Dunbar found the end zone again after he was blanked in Week 2 at Tulane. The running back is the firm No. 3 back for the Jaguars at this point, but that's still resulted in some impressive production as this South Alabama offense looks pretty potent. Behind PJ Martin and Keenan Phillips, Dunbar won't always be this productive, but the tailback is squeezing just about all the production he can from his current role.

Brendan Jenkins - Silenced by Bobcats Jenkins gathered in 1 of 3 targets for five yards during Saturday's 41-36 victory versus Ohio.

Impact Jenkins has a tremendous first two games this season, totaling 14 catches for 197 yards and two scores. In the win against Ohio, however, he was limited to just one meager reception. The receiver was also only targeted three times, which is a curious development considering he notched 22 targets through the first two weeks of the season. He'll look to bounce back at Kentucky in Week 4.

Keenan Phillips - Big day on the ground Phillips accrued 18 rushes for 116 yards and one touchdown and gathered in 2 of 3 targets for 25 yards during Saturday's 41-36 win against Ohio.

Impact Phillips eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the first time this season, and also found the end zone for the first time as well. Though he got fewer carries than PJ Marin, the Jaguars' other co-starter at running back, Phillips has still be quite productive week in and week out on what looks like a potent South Alabama offense.

Rod Gibbs - Scores first touchdown of 2026 Gibbs notched two receptions (on three targets) for 33 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-36 win over Ohio.

Impact Gibbs found the end zone for the first time this season as the Jaguars topped Ohio for a big Week 3 win. The tight end still has just six targets through three games, however; his production might be hit or miss on a weekly basis.

Bishop Davenport - Sits out with nagging injury Davenport (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's 41-36 win over Ohio due to a nagging injury, Ava Rath of the AL.com reports.

Impact The Jaguars got the sneaky win over the Bobcats, but they were without starting quarterback Davenport. He'll now look to make a return for this Saturday's outing at Kentucky, pending how his lingering injury is during the practice week.

SEPTEMBER 13 • Associated Press

Anthony Eager - Expected back on offense soon Eager (hand) is expected to rejoin South Alabama's offense soon, per Doug Konkel.

Impact Eager was limited exclusively to the special teams unit against Southeastern Louisiana in Week 1, as the wideout was protecting a hand injury that forced him to miss spring practices.

Once he feels as though his hand is at 100 percent, he will look to become a reliable target in the passing attack.
