Fairhope’s Caden Creel played for Tim Carter at Fairhope High. At Jacksonville State: a redshirt in 2023, no game action in 2024, then the 2025 Salute to Veterans Bowl MVP. At Kennesaw State on Oct. 7, 2026, he threw for 311 yards and added this two-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Garrison Rippa later kicked the 33-yard winner: Jax State 27, Kennesaw State 26.
