Jake Bentley is settling into his third college home, now with South Alabama, and he’s off to a great start in 2 games with the Jaguars.

The former South Carolina and Utah quarterback has made 2 starts and Bentley has thrown for 526 yards, 2 touchdowns and one interception on 46-of-68 passing. Bentley’s Jaguars are off to a 2-0 start in 2021, defeating Southern Miss and Bowling Green.

As Gamecock fans recall, Bentley is in his sixth year of college football after 4 seasons with the Gamecocks, including the final one that was cut short by a foot injury in the 2019 season opener against North Carolina. He then spent last season at Utah. He completed 62 percent of his passes at Utah but entered the transfer portal again.

“This is the best I have ever been prepared for a team,” Bentley told reporters following South Alabama’s season-opening victory over Southern Miss. “That’s just so much of Coach (Major) Applewhite and how he has helped me through the preparation process.”

He’ll face a familiar foe later this season when South Alabama meets Tennessee on Nov. 20.
