Ex-South Alabama cornerback headed to SEC school via transfer portal
South Alabama spring practice
Former South Alabama cornerback Ricky Fletcher is transferring to Ole Miss
Former South Alabama cornerback Ricky Fletcher will transfer to Ole Miss, according to multiple reports.
The 6-foot-3, 197-pound Fletcher missed the entire 2024 season with a back injury, but participated in spring practice before entering the transfer portal last week. The Durant, Miss., native was a 13-game starter for the Jaguars in 2023, totaling 39 tackles and 12 pass breakups.
South Alabama has had six players enter the transfer portal since the end of spring practice, including starting offensive tackle Malachi Carney. Also currently in the portal are reserve linebackers Gavin Forsha and Julien Demby, backup offensive guard Hayden Dozier and safety Lorenzo Smith, a junior-college transfer who joined the Jaguars just prior to spring practice.
South Alabama has added one portal transfer in the current cycle. Quarterback Zach Pyron, an Alabama native who played three seasons at Georgia Tech before spending this past spring at Minnesota, signed with the Jaguars on Friday.
