Thomas brothers join Voisins to cause double takes in Jaguars football building
South Alabama football players, from left, Devin Voisin, Jaden Voisin, Tyler Thomas and Trent Thomas pose together at Hancock Whitney Stadium on Aug. 10. The Voisins and Thomases make the Jaguars the rare team with two sets of twins on its roster. Jaden and Devin Voisin are entering their sixth seasons with the South Alabama football program, so teammates and coaches can tell them apart with ease.
“I’ve gotten to where the Voisins aren’t even twins anymore to me,” head coach Major Applewhite said. “I can tell them apart. But the Thomases, I really have to look. ‘Is it a blue jersey or is it a red jersey ?’ You really have to take a minute and think about it.” • In 2018, Mississippi College, a Division III school, had THREE sets of twins, each of whom played different positions than his brother — running back Ja’Mori Mark and wide receiver Ja’Moz Mark, running back Cole Rotenberry and defensive back Turner Rotenberry and quarterback Detric Hawthorn and defensive back Derric Hawthorn. The arrangement lasted just one year because Ja’Mori Mark had redshirted and Ja’Moz had not, and thus had graduated by the next season.
Both are now sixth-year “super” seniors, and it’s possible they’re playing together for the last time this fall. Both will likely have a chance to play at the professional level, though Devin could apply for a medical redshirt and extend his college career an additional year. Tyler was a first-team All-State pick in both sports, while Trent was first-team in football and second-team in basketball. Both had small-college offers in basketball, but soon decided their athletic future was likely brighter on the gridiron.
Tyler Thomas entered the transfer portal after 2024 spring practice, and was pursued by Applewhite’s staff more vigorously than the Jaguars had done under predecessor Kane Wommack. He officially joined the program in June, much to the relief of his family.
