Home is a slogan for Jacksonville State University, and it’s a feeling for Rollie Pinto.

The rising senior Piedmont wide receiver has followed Jax State football for years and plans to make good on his dream to play for the Gamecocks, announcing his commitment via social media Wednesday.

He chose Jax State over offers from UAB, Murray State, Navy, North Alabama, Kennesaw State, Samford and West Alabama.
