### Former South Alabama Linebacker Khalil Jacobs Transfers to Missouri
Former South Alabama linebacker Khalil Jacobs has announced his transfer to the University of Missouri. Jacobs will reunite in Columbia with former Jaguars defensive coordinator Corey Batoon, who joined the Tigers’ program in January. Jacobs, originally from Niceville, Florida, also considered Alabama, Auburn, and Ole Miss during his transfer process.
Standing 6-foot-2 and weighing 218 pounds, Jacobs had an impactful sophomore season in 2023. He recorded 56 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, and three forced fumbles in a part-time role. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Jacobs initially entered the transfer portal after South Alabama head coach Kane Wommack left for Alabama in January but returned to the Jaguars shortly after. Following spring practice, Jacobs re-entered the transfer portal and ultimately chose Missouri.
