Bubba Thompson, a first-round draft pick from yon MLB in the year of our Lord 2017, be swappin' his trusty glove fer a helmet and shoulder pads, joinin' the South Alabama Jaguars on the gridiron! Aye, he be takin’ up the role of a walk-on fer the spring practices, as the good captain, Major Applewhite, be shoutin’ his praises from the crow's nest!Old Bubba, at the ripe age of 26, be no stranger to the football field, havin’ led his crew at McGill-Toolen Catholic High School to the state title game.
