MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Alabama State head coach Brian Jenkins made a special presentation to Southern head coach Dawson Odums to honor Jaguars receiver Devon Gales, who suffered a severe spinal injury during the Jaguars’ loss to Georgia on Sept. 26.Gales broke the C6 vertebrae as a result of a head-to-head collision during the second half of the game against the Bulldogs.
Jenkins presented Odums with an Alabama State jersey with Gales’ No. 33 before Saturday’s kickoff, one of many jerseys dedicated to Gales across the country.
Southern University has set up a fund for the Gales family. The College Football Assistance Fund announced on Wednesday that a grant of $5,000 has been awarded to the Devon Gales Fund to help the family with travel and loss-of-income expenses.
A link to donate to the fund is available on the Alabama State athletic website.
