Hale said he is eager to suit up for South Alabama head coach Major Applewhite this fall.
“Well, I thought the facilities were great,” Hale said. “It’s close to home and it’s the people there are just great. They’re interested in me; I’m interested in them, so that’s great. Just try and be humble and take it and have discipline at the next level and stuff like that. So I’m able to really strive at that level.”
Hale will play at South Alabama alongside Vigor High School wide receiver Jerrian Graham, who also signed with the Jaguars on Wednesday.
