MOBILE, Ala. – This week's guest on the official podcast of the University of South Alabama Department of Athletics, "Inside JagNation," is Xavier Johnson from the Jaguar football program.
The rising senior from Tampa, Fla., talks about the Navy SEALFIT Training exercises the Jags went through to close out the opening week of summer school, and how much those drills can help South on and off the field moving forward in this week's episode. He also explains other aspects of the team's summer workout and conditioning program including leading 7-on-7 passing and weight room drills, as well as what a typical day is like during summer school, his excitement about this year's team heading into preseason practice and goals for the fall. Other topics include Johnson revealing which former Jag was most influential in his growth and development after arriving on campus, what it would mean to become the school's first-ever 1,000-yard rusher and his favorite part about being a member of the program.
