HATTIESBURG — Southern Miss football coach Larry Fedora announced Wednesday that Alonzo Lawrence has enrolled in school and will be a part of the Golden Eagle football team.

With a off-day slated on Wednesday, Lawrence will join the Golden Eagles for the first time today in an afternoon practice.

The 6-foot-1, 190- pound defensive back from Lucedale, attended George County High School before attending the University of Alabama for a season. Lawrence redshirted last season for the Crimson Tide. Due to NCAA transfer rules, he will have to sit out this season and will be eligible in the fall of 2010.
