Jacob Meeks gives South Alabama a proven kickoff weapon with reliable place-kicking upside
Meeks profiles as a steady, value-add special-teams piece for South Alabama: ESPN lists him with a 66.7% field-goal rate, 91.7% on extra points, a long of 40, and 17 points, while the Jaguars also used him as a kickoff specialist with 36 touchbacks on 80 kickoffs in one season.[5][6] His appeal is less about flash than dependability—he brings proven leg strength, can help flip field position, and looks like a fit for teams that want a calm, functional kicker rather than a high-drama gamble.[6]
