Vicksburg’s Mychal Ammons signed his letter of intent to attend South Alabama on Wednesday, joining Bastrop guard Jordan Roach as South’s two early signees.

“He will make an immediate impact on our roster,” South Alabama coach Ronnie Arrow. “He has a good chance of being one of the best players in this school’s history.”

Ammons is ranked 32nd among small forwards by ESPN.com and 26th by Scout.com, and received a three-star rating from Rivals.com.

Mychal’s sister, Taylor, is currently a member of the USA women’s team.

The 2010 Vicksburg Post co-Player of the Year, Ammons averaged 19.4 points, 9.4 rebounds and two blocks per game last season. He scored a career-high 34 points against Brandon last season.
