D-I Alert: KSPR reports Bolivar’s Kolton Peavey commits to South Alabama football

Bolivar QB Kolton Peavey

Great stuff from TAGsgf.com friend and KSPR 33 sports stud Mike Scott, as he reported that Bolivar High School quarterback Kolton Peavey committed to the University of South Alabama’s football team earlier today.

Now, before you tell me that you’ve never heard of South Alabama’s football team and that I’m misleading you about its D-I status, keep in mind that USA didn’t start its football program until last year, going 7-0 against what’s the equivalent of JV competition. The Jaguars will be a full-fledged D-I program in 2011 and will compete in the Sunbelt Conference, which was won by Troy last season. Conference member Middle Tennessee State also played in a bowl. Here is a list of quick facts about USA’s program.

Back to the left-handed Peavey, the 6-foot-2, 190-pound senior passed for 2,409 yards while throwing 27 touchdowns and only 8 interceptions and helped the Liberators to the Class 4 quarterfinals. Peavey should also get a chance to play quarterback for USA, too. Click the link for great info that Scott dug up on Peavey’s father’s NFL career.
