Gulf Coast Media’s Athlete of the Week (Sept. 14-Sept. 20): Gulf Shores’ Jackson Serman

The hybrid DE/LB created havoc all over the field for the Dolphins during their win over Murphy.

The good times keep rolling in Gulf Shores, as the Dolphins’ football team currently stands at 5-0 on the season and just earned its second Athlete of the Week honor from Gulf Coast Media.

With Mark Hudspeth’s side cruising to a 54-0 win over Murphy last Friday, veteran defender Jackson Serman created plenty of chaos, and his efforts earned him Gulf Coast Media’s latest AOW award after public voting concluded Tuesday evening.

A hybrid defensive end/linebacker, Serman racked up a team-high six total tackles (with five being solo), 3.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. The senior virtually lived in the opposition’s backfield and seemingly was involved in every play that occurred.

Serman’s productivity and leadership are just some of the many reasons Gulf Shores has jumped out to its best start since 2023, and he’s part of a defense that has allowed just under 17 points per game thus far.

Following a bye week, Serman and the Dolphins (5-0, 3-0) next travel to face Baldwin County at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2.

Our other nominees for the week include Foley quarterback Judah Spencer, Spanish Fort setter Cailyn Boykin and St. Michael wide receiver Braedyn Walton.
